The larger mass of the blindly faithful are equally if not more suspicious than atheists of that small number of afflicted zealots.
Hmmm. I'm not so sure about that. What experience led to you to come to that conclusion?
Check out the stats on religiosity and perception, even between the religious. It's not just the atheists who think that people who swear they chat with god on the daily are nuts, one example being that christian jurors certainly don't seem to feel that "god told me to do it" is a sufficient or plausible defense.
