Equally important to realize that many, if not most, atheists aren't angry at all, but are far more at peace than they were when they were religious and having to deal with issues of cognitive dissonance between their own sense of post-Enlightenment, Western morality and the Bronze Age tribal sheepherder-warrior-priest nonsense that makes up the "objective morality" claimed by the Bible.
When we become angry is when people come at us with demonstrably stupid, wrongheaded ideas about atheism and/or science, and then expect us to just swallow their wooist ideas without questioning them, calling us "angry" or "arrogant" simply because we won't just lie back and let our world be run by the people who talk to their imaginary friend who tells them how to run things, and won't let them make assertions about atheists/atheism that are blatantly false and demonizing.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
