I have some insight into this one.
I've always had a bit of a temper, and when I was a kid it was really common for other children to pick on me deliberately because they knew I would react and they wanted to see it. I can't speak for all people or even all atheists, but I imagine at least a few of them just like seeing people get bent out of shape and have realized that there is essentially an instruction book for bending Christians out of shape (it's called The Bible).
In my case, I guess I felt a little tricked after realizing how much time and money I'd wasted on Jesus for the first 27 years of my life, and so I find some grim amusement in refuting my old religion loudly and perhaps somewhat rudely. It's not like your Gaud is gonna punish me.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
