I wouldn't say many atheist say that. I'd estimate maybe 1%, and that's a generous amount.
It doesn't make much practical difference to act as if a particular cartoon God is 99.99% fictional or 100% fictional. I do agree that making statements of certainty is not something to be encouraged. And again, it's quite different to talk about a generic creator, than talking about "this character in this book come to life".
OK, so you consider some atheists hypocrites when they make certain statements. Fair enough. I'm still not sure what that matters to anything. You still have to defend your own position, even if you think theirs suffers from similar problems.
