No, it's the theists who can't be reasoned with.

I have to disagree.  Paine was an outspoken Deist.  He was not an atheist, though some called him that.  He believed that the existence of God was absolutely proven by the natural world.

He was using atheists as a convenient irrational person for his quote.  I have not found a single reference online that agrees with your interpretation.  If you can find one, I'll look at it.
