Having the good fortune to be raised by atheist parents, I can only speculate. That said, I can surmise that the last thing any believer wants is to be around an ex-believer. If their own belief hangs by a thread, the last thing they would want is to be around someone they fear becoming more like. As they deny reality, they can be expected to deny anyone who reminds them of it.
I remember when I was doing research into the book I was writing at the time and visited a Christian book store. I had this feeling as if I had walked into a mental asylum, only the inmates were in charge. It just amazes me how anyone could ever have believed any of this stuff, never mind in today's age when we've discovered so much that was once a mystery.
