I’ve never understood the point of view of an atheist. If, as they define themselves, are of the mind that God does not exist, then why all the vitriol? I don’t believe in Santa Claus but have never bothered to have a cruel word toward him. What good would it do?

“If, as they define themselves, are of the mind that God does not exist, then why all the vitriol?”

Because they do believe. They just have a problem with Him. They try to hurt God and his followers by repeatedly and publicly denying his existence in varying ways. That’s not all atheists but I do believe that describes the most vocal ones.
