Then what is his plan for the atheist?

God's plan is to bring peace and prosperity to all on earth believer or non believer alike.

The atheist in God's plan is no different from any other human being. God loves all and wants us all to be happy.

God loves all; even those who do not follow Him.
Atheists simply put will not live an eternal life but merely end up in the place of punishment for their transgressions - we call this Hell.
God even has a plan for unbelievers, even though He may not make it known.

Jeremiah 29:11 [Full Chapter]
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

1 John 4:8 [Full Chapter]
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

The Law of cause and effect works in such a way that each of us has a myriad of good and bad karma to work through while we create more.
Every life is different when it comes to a "plan".

Atheists are no different than anyone else.
What people believe is not really much of an issue.
What people do when they are confronted with opposing beliefs is what matters.

Is there any reason an atheist might be different than any other person of wrong religious belief?
Either everyone has the wrong religious belief or we all have the right religious belief.
Which is it?
Is yours right and mine wrong?
Is our neighbor even more wrong?
Who decides?
It is part of the plan is the answer.
We chose to have it this way.

I can't tell if you're asking me questions or telling me a poem.

I can't comment on that. But it is a phrasing which implies a certain monolithic homogeneity to atheists, when this is in no manner the case.

No, it doesn't. That is just the way you are reading it. At any rate that is not the topic this thread. Do you have anything on topic to contribute?

It seems very much on topic to me.

I am saying that to say 'What is God's plan for the atheist?' doesn't make much sense, because atheists are vastly varying and divergent people. So grouping them together in this manner as if there was a common plan doesn't make sense.

Oh of course grammar is the topic, my mistake.

The eventual liberation/realization is for all sentient beings (including current atheists). (I believe in reincarnation)

Atheism/Theism is really not as important as the quality of the heart and mind.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not talking about semantics.

This. . . .

is semantics, and I am simply not doing it. Anyone with a public education can understand the question in the OP, and lots of other people already have interpreted it correctly and responded to the actual question. You are hung up on the semantics and the grammar, even if you don't realize it.

Fine then, forget all that. My point still stands. I don't think God has some plan for atheists in particular anymore than for theists in particular.
