Was Jesus ever an atheist?

GK Chesterton (famous Catholic apologist) writes in his popular book Orthodoxy: > Nay (the matter grows too difficult for human speech), but let the atheists themselves choose a god. They will find only one divinity who ever uttered their isolation; only one religion in which God seemed for an instant to be an atheist. GK Chesterton seems to be saying that Jesus was an atheist, at least for a moment. Is this actually orthodox, i.e. consistent with what most Christians thought in most times and places? Before reading Orthodoxy I'd never heard of such an idea.
