"Don't atheists follow Satan" makes sense to a Christian. Since they believe that Satan seeks to separate humanity from god, then anyone who rejects god is doing Satan's will. In the mind of the Christian, the atheist is doing exactly what Satan wants, and is therefore following the Devil. That the atheist doesn't believe in Satan either is of no consequence.
You could always respond with "don't theists follow nonsense?"

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
