Xians as well as atheists themselves seldom realize this or at least they don't seem to address it.
Ok, I think I understand the distinction you're making - but it could still be argued that we care what people believe, regardless of truth value, because beliefs inform actions, and actions have effects on others. Therefore at times we may directly address the substance of your beliefs, rather than the indirect manifestation of those beliefs.
