The reason that some Christians get mad is because they view any criticism of their faith as being a personal attack. For some people even hearing that someone is an atheist is the same as persecuting Christians.
Yep, when I attack religion or god claims, one should look at that blasphemy like two people going to a movie and I am the one going "That movie sucked".
Believers need to understand that we are attacking bad claims as far as scientifically and claims of morality. But it is not an attack on them or their rights.
It would be like if you had a friend who said "The New York Yankees won the Superbowl". I might like you but the claim itself is utter bullshit.
It might be better for the believer to consider maybe they are wrong and are merely in it because of a bad case of warm fuzzies and wishful thinking.
