That would make it harder for people to accept a God who created everything not easier. He lives in a world where all myths are real and so God's are just more more powerful lifeforms and not worth worshiping. Meeting god, and angels and there being nothing special about them makes it easier to not worshiping them. While in our world being an atheist means not believing in a God or God's in a fictional universe like the DC universe it would be different. They exist but are they worth worshiping. Also were they actually gods or the inspiration for God. As I've already stated, atheists believe that God, and other gods, LITERALLY DO NOT EXIST IN ANY FORM. As in, saying "well, maybe Batman just doesn't view them worthy of worship, so he's an atheist" is literally not knowing what atheism is. If Batman is atheist, that means that, despite his scientific mind telling him to follow the evidence, he literally believes there are no gods. This is despite having to fight a few of them multiple times a year. Despite him literally killing a god. Despite him literally meeting the Judeo-Christian God. Despite him crossing the river Styx. All of these interactions with literal gods, and he believes there is none?
