The video had some good points and I bet some Christians do fear rejection from God or have no solid foundation for their belief so they do react that way. I was merely pointing out that it's a generalization and just as easily reversed for atheists that exhibit those reactions. Albeit, even factoring in numbers, I would guess that atheists have a far smaller potion of anti theists than Christians that don't act Christian. It would be interesting to see the numbers on polls like that though
You said the video generalizes and can easily be flipped around. In fact, I think it makes more sense the way you put it: that atheists get frustrated because they feel rejected by God. However, I disagree with the premise that either side's frustration comes from rejection. No, atheists don't feel rejected by God. But I don't think the video makes any sense either. Religious people get frustrated because they take any criticisms of their belief as a personal attack (which they aren't) not because of a feeling of rejection. The video overcomplicates the issue.
