I find this fascinating because C.S. Lewis has this whole theological argument about the pure and simple faith of children; and then it turns out that, when you show a movie based on a Bible story to kids who weren't raised in that tradition...they just end up thinking that God is a monster.
(Prince of Egypt still has banger songs though, obviously)

As Bishop, I was very close even to those who do not believe in God. I formed the idea that they often combat not God, but the mistaken idea they have of God.
Pope John Paul I, in a General Audience on September 6th, 1978
"Do you REALLY hate organized religion or do you just hate American Christianity uwu" I think all forms of indoctrination into antiscientific beliefs (For serious purposes not like fucking Santa Claus don't be disingenuous) should be considered child abuse along with teaching your kids racism, sexism, queerphobia, classism, or ableism. (Probably a few other big -isms to count as abusive to teach too, I just don't want to list every single genre of violent prejudice.) So yeah, I hate organized religion due to the fact that it culturally normalizes easing your kids into it. If there was an organized religion that culturally normalized pushing your kids away from believing it so they'd only follow with strong evidence of it being good for them with NO grooming or proselytizing needed, you'd give me reason for an exception. I would still hate the broad concept due to how it's been used.

don’t ask me if I believe in god, ask me if I agree with the dude and the answer becomes clearer. Belief is immoral when the god to worship only watches through miracles. Found car keys equal to a starved slave. A lucky $20 bill to the child pleading under suffocating rubble. What makes prayer worthy then? I cannot pray to a god who punishes those for the actions he has planted within them nor a god who points blame to a devil he himself allows to reign free across the rat race that is our Earth. Call me childish for believing what isn’t humane is not for me. Call me prideful for refusing to place my bets to a god that cannot be explained but demands to be heard. A god who disconnects himself so much further that all he rations are left in the hands of men made shameless and rich in His excuse. God gives them money and children to feed on yet god remains pure from the stains we’re left to clean?
Make more misotheist characters
In DnD settings such as Faerûn and more recently in the Cosmere, where the existence of gods or god-like beings has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, having an atheist character makes little to no sense. Why would you deny the existence of gods when there's people who can literally channel divine power to heal, harm or even resurrect others, you can talk to it and you refuse it's existence? Bit crazy.
Now there's a somewhat roundabout way in which you can justify the existance of atheism, a lot of the time in these worlds gods can be fought, replaced and killed; there are god corpses in the Astral Plane and Adonalsium and its Shards have been frequently shattered, entrapped and modified. An atheist character could argue that, since none of them have proven themselves to be trully omnipotent, none of them are trully godly and are just extremely powerful, but ultimately mortal, beings.
I would like to propose, however, an alterntive. A character that not only recognizes the divinity of their gods, but who also detests them for it. We're taking off from the idea that gods exist and, while not omnipotent, they are divine and beyond human reach, that they have stablished followings and that someone, for some reason, may hate them for any or all of these characteristics. What are their motivations? They could be anything really, a real life example is the backlash against the church during the French revolution and the rise of the Cult of Reason; while not misotheist, a fantasy Robespierre could see the very existence of the gods as inherently monarchic and oppressive decide to take no gods, no kings to it's logical extreme. Whether they are truly divine or just very powerful in your particular world would dictate the degree to which this misotheist project succeeds.
Yah.
