Strange as it may seem, 1984 may have been partly autobiographical. Orwell based some of the institutional existence of 1984 on his experience of working for the BBC after WW2 (room 101 was in the corridor he worked in). Orwell was an atheist so it may be that he made Winston Smith an atheist as the character had some of Orwell within him. It also fits in with the plot - dictatorships often try to make their subjects worship the dictator, there is a scene in 1984 where a woman is seen to be praying to Big Brother; one only has to look at North Korea to see the effect in reality. To achieve that, existing religions must be removed. Finally, Winston Smith was (obviously) named as an amalgam of Winston Churchill and the "everyman" surname of Smith. Churchill was an atheist. ____ I'm not sure that Orwell 'makes Winston Smith an atheist' ... Thewhole society shown in the book is non-religious (except for 'worship' of the Party and Big Brother).
