Nonbelievers and atheists -- not just believers in God and people who wish for a God -- want their worldview to be correct. Aldous Huxley, descendant of the great Thomas Huxley who helped put Darwinism on the map, wrote an article called "The Confessions of a Professed Atheist." He frankly admitted that he wanted the world to be meaningless. If there is no God and the world is meaningless, then that means there's no moral order. And if there's no moral order -- no prescriptions for how we ought to live -- then he could do as he wanted. Huxley said he objected to God and the moral order because it interfered with his sexual freedom! Just because Huxley wished for God not to exist doesn't mean that God doesn't exist.
