Do you notice a lot of anger at God for a tragedy being the stumbling block for many non-believers today?

I notice this an awful lot. Of course people have always used the "if there was a loving God He wouldn't have let this happen" excuse but it seems to be more common than ever today. It's probably because we have so much bad news every day because we have so much news in general so it's easy to see tragedy and especially "bad things happening to good people". But if God gave nice people an instant pass and nothing bad ever happened to them how fair would that be to the rest of the population? It has to rain on the just and the unjust for true equality. Anything else would require God's constant intervention which wouldn't be a free world really. Basically it's an excuse to turn away from who they need the most.
If someone gets angry with God, even if they claim to be a non-believer, their anger at God only draws them closer to Him.

And also; If someone is angry at God and claims to be a non-believer, what are they angry at?
