Some HN users probably are, but not all, and I doubt not a majority. A majority might not be religious, but not being religious does not automatically mean anti-religion. There are occasionally comments that show an espousal of a god that do get upvotes.

Calling someone's god, an "imaginary friend" is probably a trait of someone very anti-religious though. I haven't read all the different religious texts, but I highly doubt any of them call their god a friend. Perhaps Jesus could be considered friendly, but I don't think the Bible says that a Christian must consider Jesus as their friend. I think it's more like how parents should be parents and not friends. I imagine in most if not all relgions, gods should be gods and not friends.
