That's why it's pointless to label ourselves as 'agnostics' and thus why we refer to ourselves as 'atheists'.
I wouldn't antagonize anyone, bash them over the head, question their sanity, just make the case and let it go at that.
In the terms of xtians, "reap what you sow".
As for why I do not believe the claims of religious people?
They are dishonest, they are seen to be dishonest and revel in their dishonesty. Why the **** would I believe the claims of anyone who I knew to be dishonest?
