In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

They also tend to say that their position is solely based on what they have experienced. They don't know proofs for God, so they won't assume there are any proofs for God. God hasn't revealed himself to them so they won't assume he has to others.

This is a fair point of view.

But what makes no sense is to assume others don't have any good reason to believe in God or there is no merit to faith.

This is taking a step further. You would have to either prove there is no God or that if there is a God, he has not made himself known to anyone.

Therefore it is more reasonable that Atheists take a more humble approach to their Atheism, that they simply state this is the position they take, but they don't necessarily condemn the Theistic position.

Nah, it's more fun being an asshole.
