Not true. I am looking at the liner notes right now:

South of Heaven - Lyrics: Araya; Music: Hanneman

Also easily verifiable with Google:

Edit: After reading the lyrics, the song does not sound at all "atheist" to me. It sounds more like the corruption of religion and how heretics are going to go to hell. You are right that King's songs are a lot more down the atheist road though.
