To understand what I'm talking about, try and imagine that almost everyone that you know believed in the Tooth Fairy. You can't call them delusional because belief in the Tooth Fairy is a shared belief within your community. You can't call their beliefs absurd, irrational or idiotic because you'll be branded "narrow minded and bigoted" and you'll be vilified and bombarded with countless ad-homs and insults.
Society demands that you afford the Tooth Fairy believers respect even thought you know that such a belief is complete and absolute nonsense. Picture yourself in that situation and perhaps you might be able to better understand what the Atheist is dealing with...
You really don't have any idea how insulting and ignorant it is to compare God to the Tooth Fairy do you?
