1. It isn't only Christians who believe in God.
2. Why do you get upset? Don't you see it as an opportunity to share your faith with others?

This is an interesting point. For example, a Christian might argue that Jesus was a real person, and had "supernatural" powers (such as raising the dead). He might point to the Bible as his source of evidence. Not an ideal source, but you have to bear in mind the events happened more than two centuries ago.
In this example, the Christian is arguing that the theory for the existence of God is based on evidence - not faith.
I find it much harder to argue against this type of reasoning (based on some evidence) than a belief based on blind faith (e.g. fairies at the bottom of my garden).
