If you were drowning, would you want someone to throw you a life preserver, even though you don't believe in life preservers? Out of love, we must throw that life preserver to those who are drowning. Not only does our God wish it, but we, who know the love of Christ, wish to love our neighbors to the point that they understand the need for a Savior and turn to Christ and live.
You have it mostly correct. Evangelicals are worse because they make the moronic assumption that we don't accept your claim because we haven't heard about it at all or enough, or just haven't evaluated it properly.
To use your analogy, you are throwing a life preserver that promptly sinks to the bottom.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
