At the start, a lot of atheists are really (understandably) angry at having felt they had believe in a lie and that everyone else still does.

Well atheism is the absence of belief in gods or higher powers and such like that, not the absence of belief in general. Saying that is like saying you don't believe scientific fact to be true, or really believe anything at all.
