So you are right if I was an atheist I would be impatient and call everyone 'idiots' if they believed in something ridiculous, but I am working on being patient with people, even if I am in the middle of a Bible study and they ask to pray so that the devil will stop it from raining!

Remember that atheism doesn't preclude one from making a stupid. Just like getting vaccinated doesn't magically make you truly immune to common diseases. However, the process of deconversion is usually powered by skepticism and logic.
