Now that someone would dare to benignly suggest "there probably is no God" in a public place, the religious types will get all up in a stink about this being shoved down their throat.

It is funny.

"How dare they!"
I get that part of it, I really do.

I don't think people will understand that though. I think most people (non-atheists and not necessarily theists) will assume it is a message suggesting acceptance of a godless existence leads to less worry.

In other words, I think it's an inside joke with a twist of vengence.
