They take the stance that people should not believe in God. And I've only seen one person (Tiberius) be humble enough to say perhaps people do know God exists, he doesn't know that, just that he doesn't believe he knows God exists.There is a whole other word for what you're describing: anti-theist, someone who thinks people shouldn't be theists and is vocal about it. It's like if I said Musilms take the stance that Sharia law should be imposed on all the nations. All the Muslims who don't agree with that are going to resent being included in that generalization.
That to me is a respectable Atheist. I respect him for that. But to argue you don't know whether or not God exists, and other people should then all not know it, is another stance all together. The only way to justify the stance is either to show God doesn't exist or why if he does exist people can't have knowledge of his existence. Good luck with either.
Tiberius's view is a common one among atheists, I subscribe to it myself. Maybe you should assume less about what other people's opinions are.
