I don't know who you're referring to who says that the mind = the brain, either way I'm not obliged to defend someone who doesn't understand the meaning of words.
I've talked to a few atheists who have said that. some have said it directly, and some have implied it by saying "you think God is an immaterial brain" as a parody of actual claims "God is an un-embodied mind."
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
