255. Sure, it's just used by atheists to describe their own feelings.
Those feelings are mocking and disrespectful.

Oh, I suppose there are those that really can't tell the difference between a santa claus story and, say, a coherent world view and complete set of ethical norms, and those people wouldn't be mocking and disrespectful, just willfully ignorant. There's a difference, in my opinion, between somebody who believes in an item for which there is no evidence one way or another, and a person who can't figure out what's before his very nose. The former may be wrong but is harmless in and of itself, and the latter is the R/T section.
