Here's the thing:
Either theists are deluded, or atheists are. Putting things very roughly, that is the case.
Us atheists know that the theists are deluded. However, theists also know that us atheists are deluded.
Simply declaring how right we are is of no value. Both sides can do that. All we can do is offer arguments and evidence, and hope the other side comes round to our way of thinking. But ultimately, you have to accept that people are going to disagree about things. Small things, and big things. And there is no humane way of stopping this.
What is important is actions, at the end of the day. As far as I'm concerned, people can believe what they want, right up until the point where they are being a dick. Then, I don't care what your beliefs are, I want you to stop being a dick. Stop hurting people, stop forcing your beliefs on people, stop hassling people, whatever.
