The reason why some Atheist are so pressing is that they can't believe the bloody idiots just can't see that they are idiots. Like believing someone could walk over a lake. Or shove away several dozen meters of water with a wink of a staff.

Of course believers often think the same.
But the difference is that there is group A) who base their view on a book that is 2000 years old and contradicts itself in nearly every possible way, and group B) who base their view on centuries of trials and verification.

On every other topic as religion everyone would say group B) is the one to believe in. So this group finds it hard that group A) is resistant until death.
