Rejecting your very specifically christian claims does not imply, entail, or necessitate what you think it does. This is what they've told you, in many more ways, time and time again.
They don't believe in gods. Sure, they may think that the christian god is utter horseshit, but that's just one drop in a bucket full of gods described and potential. They don't rule out those other gods, many of them think that there's no way to do so in the first place. They're agnostic atheists, like most atheists.
What I find ironic, is that they very much take this position as a position of rational moderation. True or false, it's an attempt to be as generous to the idea as a person can be. This, ofc, is not enough, Their position is "extreme". More evidence of the fact that no matter how calmly you frame any generous negotiation of concept, a nutter will call you an extremist.
