The allegory of the cave may be favored by atheists that regard all they see and experience in-the-universe as exclusively what is is. They tend to believe only in matter, gluons, dark energy and theoretical extra dimensions of string theory and that they have been to the surface and know about 'the truth'. They cannot believe that spirit and God- or other than energy/mass can or does exist and through faith in the power of God and the atoning sacrifice of Jesus that they would have life after death or beyond 'the cave'. In a way, none have made it out of the Universe/cave and returned yet except fot the Lord Jesus Christ; and he did inform humanity about what He knew of the Father, heaven etc.
