All 'Godmen/women' are atheists.

Yes. Every self-confessed Godman/woman is an atheist.

That includes every priest, evangelist, preacher, keeper of temple/church/mosque, divine king, sheikh, fakir, Imam, Pope, Shankaracharya, mullah, pastor, evangelist, tableeghi, pracharak, sant, Grand Mufti, guru, amma, Maa, bhagwan, swami, baba etc.

If they truly believed in an all-seeing, moral, punishing God, they would never do, claim, or say 9 out of 10 things they did, claimed, or said.

They are the ones who are truly not fearful of the wrath of their god, for they know that S/He does not exist.

Maybe there are some unfortunate (i cannot find another word for anyone being in such a lucrative profession but not realising it is so) folks who truly believe in what they do, and do it diligently. Those people remain poor, unnoticed, not-famous, and in some religions, are the ones that make up all the suicide bombers (while their teachers, trainers, handlers, and guides sit it out from a safe distance, not believing that there truly is a better life awaiting them in heaven as a martyr, thereby proving they really are atheists). 
So maybe, I could reword that and say that all successful Godmen/women are atheists.

The point I am trying to make is that if there were truly a moral, all-seeing, all-powerful, sin-punishing god as claimed by these Godmen/women, they would be the first to be struck by lightning (or whatever weapon their God uses to strike down sinners and disbelievers) by Him/Her due to the sins and crimes they commit in their God's name. But they aren't. You do not see self-proclaimed men and women of God dying like flies around you, even when everyone knows that anyone capable of getting themselves into a position where the laypeople consider that person of divine origin, cannot get there without committing some sin/crime. The larger the popularity of the Godman/women, the higher the possibility and the more heinous the crime they are likely to have committed to get there.

The funny part of that the Godmen/women know this. And despite this, continue to peddle God to the blind and stupid believers, relieving them of their money, peace of mind, freedom, and sometimes, their very lives.

Unfortunately, like the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy, everytime one of these Godmen/women get caught red-handed, they are branded 'dhongi' or imposters, implying that there are in fact those that are not. And this is a trait visible in the followers of any religion or cult, the very behavioural flaw that is exploited by these so-called Godmen/women to stay 'divine'. A Godman/women either dies early or lives to be exposed sooner or later.

The believers need to understand that they are being strung along not just by a specific person calling themselves Godman/woman, but generally by confidence tricksters masquerading under the cover of holiness, and relinquish their blind faith in such frauds. They'd realise, if only they opened their eyes, that the people peddling such faith themselves haven't bought into the illusion themselves 
in the first place. What better reason to reject all these 'men and women of God' and stay away from religious and faith-based claptrap can one give!
