Probably the latter, since hypocrites are giving atheists something to jump all over and say that's the reason they don't believe in God, and they are not giving a good example of Jesus.

My personal opinion is that God is concerned about ALL of us, because He loves us all, even those who claim there is no God and those whose lives are a mockery.

Interesting distinction but I think He has alot of concern for both for different reasons. The atheist is lost and He wants to bring him home, while the believer is a stumbling block in the path of those looking for Him. Equal issues, relevant question.

Lack of a relationship with God cause both mockery and atheists. It is due to self righteousness, pride, fear of the unknown and Lust.
Both, the wicked, atheists, hypocrites and all of the world shall see that knowledge or lack of knowledge means nothing to God; Even if the bible says "the ears of the wise seek it out". I believe in the bible. It also says in I Corinthians 13:13 that "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
God is Love! God is concern with Lack of love in our world. It causes sin, killing, and disbelief. Pride and intellect (without being humble) grieves God. That is why the world was destroyed the first time and will be again.
Isaiah 45:23
By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
"The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged."
Romans 14:11 - It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' "

It has been established that there is no evidence nor any logical proof of this God. That leaves personal experience. I cannot refute a claim of another's experiences except in being skeptical.
So, assuming such experiences are valid, there is a God - it just appears to a few. How can it condemn non-believers if it does not reveal itself? On the other hand, those who think they have experienced God have no excuse to act in the manner I am seeing all the time. One group is "blind," the other is merely a bunch of hypocrites. Of course, you should love both groups, but I think it's clear which one is in the wrong.
One question is: which God?
Another is: out of all those experiences people supposedly have had, why is it that they all seem to be messages of love and happiness? Could it be that God bears no ill will towards anything, if it exists? Could it be that it will not condemn ANYONE? Could it be that all this condemnation from religions is getting in the way of progress and peace in the world? Hmm...

most concerned with the mockery group, because they acknowledge His existence.

God is very concerned with both, as without repentance BOTH will be lost. We must pray for all these ppl tho, as for some , they will come in before its too late. KEep speaking truth , living truth , boldly, without fear or compromise.
You go girl.

God is not a respecter of persons. So He is equally concerned with all people (this is when we are on earth).

Those who say there is a God. These are his lost sheep, that have ears to hear his word. He is concern if they preach sound doctrine. God only loves those who love him.
The other people, he is going to squish, when Jesus returns.

I think that God is more concerned with the believers who acknowledge God because, they are all his children and it probably hurts him when they do wrong.
