General perception of atheists?

1.Spaghetti monster, it's already been created(the idea), & yes it's fun for us because WE understand it, but to a person who believes wholeheartedly in a personal creator, it's incredibly offensive, are there better ways to achieve the same result when we refer to the spaghetti monster? Or is it a necessity?

Can one reasonably expect that a theist, disgusted by those who won't fall to their knees and worship his or her ancient god, could somehow be swayed by a few minor concessions? 

I don't think so.
The very idea that atheists even exist is what actually offends many religious types, so there's no point in going out of the way to kiss their collective ass.
