These two points:

1) Projection.

Projection refers to a mechanism to resolve tension between unconscious impulses for something we want, and something that we know is punished socially.

Who cares what the social punishment is - in this case, it is the desire that is important. In projection, we attribute to another group what we ourselves subconsciously want.

In other words, you are implying that atheists secretly desire to be Christian (or have a relationship with God)

Which is a load of horse shit.

2) "Neocons are, almost to a man, atheist or agnostic."

You've intruiged me. After all that stuff about God, they don't believe? Fascinating!

I should like to see some well sourced quotes about how they lack a belief in God.

OR

Some measure by which you can tell whether or not someone believes in God, regardless of what they say.
