It's not only believers in God, people who wish for there to be a God, who want their world view to be correct---so do non-believers---so do atheists. Aldous Huxley wrote an article called, "The Confessions of a Professed Atheist," (he's a descendant of the great Thomas Huxley who helped put Darwinism on the map). He admitted very frankly that he wanted the world to be meaningless. Because 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 about how we ought to live that come from on high, then he could do as he wanted to do. He said he objected to God and the moral order because it interfered with his sexual freedom!
