There are people on both sides like that. Take, for instance, the recent ads. The Atheist add said there *probably* isn't a God, so we should all enjoy our lives. A nice message that leaves open the possibility that they are wrong. One church's response? To say that God does exist (which I would expect) and everyone who believes otherwise is a fool, thus insulting anyone who believes different from them.

I personally don't believe God exists, but am willing to be proved wrong. I also respect people's right to believe otherwise.
