There is so much wrong with that statement I'm not sure where to start. However, the way the mistakes almost cancel each other to arrive at the right conclusion, Scripturally speaking, is nothing short of amazing.
If you're praying to anybody, you're not an atheist. If you're praying to anyone besides Yahweh, the One TruGod(tm), you are committing idolatry. According to Romans 1:21-28, being gay is the punishment for the sin of idolatry.
Therefore, yes, Scripturally speaking, praying to Richard Dawkins and Joseph Stalin *can* and *will* make you gay. A Biblical literalist might conflate pedophilia and/or rape with homosexuality and use this to explain why so many Catholic priests are pedophiles. I say it jsut takes a sexually maladjusted person to choose that line of work in the first place.
Bottom line, yes, praying to those guys might turn you gay, according to the Bible.
Edit: it turns out I misread your question. Atheism has no rules, no set of beliefs. It is a singular belief. Or, more accurately, the lack of one. You can be an atheist and be a gay slut, or be an atheist and married with children, or an atheist and wtf ever you want.

There an atheist book called "find Jesus" each page is a double page drawing of a scene containing hundreds of people . You have to examine each drawing carefully as one guy somewhere in the picture is wearing white and has long hair.
Only atheists can find jesus and prove with evidence that they've found him
Sorry dude every time the subject of athesim comes up i can't stop talking about the book. So... dont worry about 'prey' - that's what the religious are and don't worry about people harpin' on about 'gay' or 'sin' - cos it's modern times!

LOL. You don't really know what atheism is. It is simply the belief that no gods exist, and generally doesn't involve praying to anyone (Dawkins is a biologist, not a deity, and Stalin was a dictator who used atheism as a means to ensure greater control over his subjects). Atheists are far more accepting of being gay on average than most religious groups. The only reason I could create any sense to your claim is if such source is written by someone who believes that it is some sort of "sin" not to create something with your genetic material (atheists don't even believe in any sort of sins coming from a higher power), or if it was written by Christians trying to plant lies in the minds of people doubting their religion.

Atheism itself isn't a religion, so for most atheists, there aren't really any sins, and for even more there's no punishment. But for some religions without a god, there are stuff that are like sins and have punishments, but I think most of them think being gay isn't bad. Plus most atheists don't pray to anyone or anything.

Usually if gay , in a state atheistic gov such as stalinian, you go to Goulag. In a Chinese system, you go direct to laogaï.
Most part of antitheist proselyte forgots that state atheism is as repressive as any state religion

One has nothing to do with the other, except that Stalinism punishes homosexuals, whether they are Atheists or theists. I advise emigrating to a non-Stalinist country. You would fit in well in parts of the U.S., such as Massachusetts or Northern California.

Being an atheist means you have no religion so therefore there is no punishment for being gay.

No, sorry. No atheists are gay whatsoever, and if they are then they are not true atheists and do not follow the Way of the Atheist. Ours is the only Way and if you follow any other Way you will burn in torment for eternity.
