Personally I find hard core aethiests and hard core religious people equally annoying. Anyone who is vociferous about the existence of a Supreme Being hasn't thought it through. There could be a God and there could not be a God, I am not amart enough to say. I have my own beliefs, but they are mine, and I have no desire to fost them on anyone else. And whatever some group of fringe religious zealots or anti religious zealots do is not going to afftect what I believe to be true.
I'll tell you one thing, however, God is not some old white guy with a beard who lives in the sky.
"The nonspeculative nature of the Christian faith makes it unpalatable to many whose lives are thoroughly grounded in philosophical conjecture."
