The author of the article is unknown. I copied the article with permission several years ago from a Christian website with the permission of the Orthodox Christian who posted it. So:
1) You don't believe in God, but you say "thank you" (God save you) as a sign of gratitude.
2) You don't believe that Christ lived on Earth, but you use the calendar based on the Nativity of Christ.
3) You don't believe that Christ rose from the dead, but you call the seventh day of the week Sunday.
4) You don't believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but you call a person who has lost this image "ugly."
5) You don't believe that demons exist, but you say that a dog is rabid or that a car is speeding at a furious pace.
6) You don't believe that Ham (son of Noah, Genesis 9:18-29) existed, but you don't like it when people are rude to you.
7) You don't believe that Onan (Genesis 38:8-9) existed, but you know what onanism is.
8) You don't believe that a person has a soul, but you believe that there are mentally ill people (or psychologically ill – from the Greek "psyche" – soul).
9) You doYou don't believe in God!?

8) You don't believe that a person has a soul, but you believe that there are mentally ill people (or psychologically ill – from the Greek "psyche" – soul).
9) You don't believe that the scapegoat existed (Leviticus 16:20-22), but you don't like it when you are made a scapegoat.
10) You don't believe that a person has a soul, but you don't like it when you are called a heartless person.
11) You don't believe in God because no one has seen God, but at the same time you believe that you can talk on a mobile phone – although no one has seen radio waves.
12) You believe that axioms do not need to be proven, but you demand proof of God's existence. 13) You don't believe in God, but you use God's Word (the Bible) in your life:
• He who does not work shall not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
• What you sow, you will reap (Galatians 6:7).
• Whoever digs a pit will fall into it (Ecclesiastes 10:8).
• To bury one's talent in the ground (Matthew 25:31-33).
• Sleeps the sleep of the righteous (Proverbs 3:23-24).
• He who comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword (Matthew 26:52).
• David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:11-58).
• The mighty of this world (Psalm 117:8-9).
• A time to gather stones and a time to scatter stones (Ecclesiastes 3:5).
• Through fire and water (Psalm 65:12).
• A voice crying in the wilderness (Matthew 3:3).
• Not by bread alone (Matthew 4:4).
• To drink the bitter cup (Isaiah 51:17).
• Not of this world (John 18:36).
• A prophet is without honor in his own country (Luke 4:24).
• Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's (Luke 20:25).
• A living corpse (1 Timothy 5:6).
• Out of the mouths of babes (Matthew 21:15-16).
• Without a doubt (James 1:6). • Manna from heaven (Book of Exodus 16)
• To bear one's cross (Gospel of Matthew 10:38, Gospel of Mark 8:34)
14) You don't believe in Jesus Christ, but you use Christian wisdom: "runs like the devil from incense," "flails around like a madman," "if it seems so, you should cross yourself," "barely alive," "newly deceased," "a lost cause," "to give up the ghost," "like someone taken down from the cross," etc.
15) You don't believe in God, but you believe in science, despite the fact that science (probability theory) shows that the probability that this world was created by an intelligent being is trillions of times higher than the probability that this world and everything in it appeared on its own. The probability of spontaneous generation of life, taking into account the probability of the spontaneous combination of the necessary favorable conditions, is infinitesimally small and has so many dependencies (including, for example, the Earth's orbit, the tilt of its axis, the parameters of the Sun, the composition of the earth's soil) that it cannot even be calculated accurately. Even roughly, if we omit thousands of factors, this probability is much less than 0.000 000 001%.
16) You believe that the whole world arose from the random combination of chemical elements, but you don't believe that computer programs arose from the random combination of zeros and ones. You don't believe in the Creator of the universe in the first case, but you believe in the creator of computer programs in the second.
17) You consider yourself merely a future stinking pile of fertilizer, but you are proud that you are not as stupid as those who believe in eternal life. 18) You don't want to follow Christian commandments, believing that a person should decide for themselves what is good and what is bad, but at the same time you don't want your wife (husband) to be an adulteress (adulterer), your son to be a drunkard, your daughter to become a prostitute, to be robbed, to be deceived, to be hated, to be killed... The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 52:2).
