Doesn't an atheist's very existence insult Christians?

Advertisements [?]

Will's post earlier today suggested that Christians find it insulting to be told they believe in a fairy tale.

By saying I'm an atheist, I'm "saying" I believe God is a fairy tale. I'm also "saying" that people who believe in God believe in fairy tales.

How can we ever communicate when my belief system is seen by Christians as a personal insult to them?
