They believe at the end of the day God is everything, other stuff may be nice and all, but God's all that matters. So atheists are saying they're living a fairy tale? I've even heard my parents say the next town they move to will be "wherever the Lord leads us". They are not casual believers, they are hardcore.
There are worse things to base your life on. If they are fulfilled and happy then it does not so much matter if the basis for that happiness is wrong.
But more to the point, and I know I'm repeating myself here, what you decide to believe makes not one atom of difference to the reality. If they made a mistake and based their lives on a lie, you doing so too does not make their decisions any better!

If I wasn't a Christian, I'd be saying close to 95% of the people in the area I live in are wrong. Heck, the city I want to live in (the only large one here, by large I mean like over 100,000 people) has a 3.9% non-religious population from the stats I've seen.
And if you'd grown up in nazi germany, 95% of the people in the area you lived in were antisemetic.
Actually probably less, because the ones who were not kept quiet about it. And indeed there are probably many atheists in your area who don't make an issue of it.
