Why do theist often drop the letter s when referring to atheists?

RE: Why do theist often drop the letter s when referring to atheists?
The atheists recognizes the multitude and humanizes the opposition.

The atheist dehumanizes the opposition, diminishes their perceived numbers, shoe horns them into one single entity, and emphasizes what the theist perceive to be a common animating wickedness. It makes both superciliousness and loathing roll more easily off the tongue.

It is much the same as the Nazis propaganda, as well as contemporary neo-Nazi propaganda, refering not to the Jews, but The Jew, when alledging common racial trait justifying the exterminatory antisemetic policies.
