What I don't understand about some athiests, is that if they don't believe Jesus existed, why make such a fuss over some one, that in there mind , never lived?

Because there is really no such thing as an atheist. All humans have a spiritual make-up and a lot of so-called atheists "protest too much", IMHO.

I would think it's because they are unsure, and in their unsuredness, need to reinforce the same onto anyone who will listen.

Once you know the truth, nothing will ever replace it.

Marxism tries to do the same. It is the lying to ones' self that the master of lies loves the most.

Fortunately, when one finds Truth, there is no going back to the father of lies...and there is the true gnashing of teeth....Poor satan...he lost before he began.

Answers:
Puritan: Someone who can't stand that someone, somewhere might be having fun.

Liberal: Someone who can't stand that someone, somewhere doesn't think the same way they do.

The Reverend Enrico Righi seems to be a little of the former and a lot of the latter.

In a reasonable world, the ACLU lawyers trying to erase historical
signs of the crucifix would be diagnosed with an obsessive-compulsive
disorder fixated on lines intersecting at right angles.
I don't know how they manage to drive through a modern city and
not go crazy looking at some of the "big box" plate glass skyscrapers
(nothing but "crosses" in the frames holding the glasses).

He also asserts that the Gospels - the most frequently cited testimony of Jesus' existence - are inconsistent, full of errors and biased, and that other written evidence from the time is scant and doesn't hold up to scholarly analysis.

I held this debate with a "religion professor" throughout a semester.

Because, in their minds, he obstructs human progress. Of course, what they fail to understand, is that humans have not "progressed" at all. Technology has, but man has not. Furthermore, progression assumes some final goal, something to progress to, which in turn implies an absolute standard, which in turn implies a higher authority who put that standard into effect--all ideas that are repulsive to this group of people.

Thats also why I never understood atheists fussing about prayer in schools, nativity scenes at Christmas, etc.
If its all a bunch of 'hokum' and meaningless why should they care? The claim that ' well if its state-sponsored then my tax dollars are supporting this nonsense!'. My reply is always 'Gee if thats the only nonsense {in their mind!} your tax dollars support then in comparison its tax dollars well spent!
