The reason church members get so offended at atheists is that atheists have no apparent guage of good and evil. They ignore the possibility that one can be a good, moral, and happy person, yet deny the existence of the unseen ghosts that rule the universe.
If you're a Christian (of devout Jew, Hindu, Muslim, etc.), you know through your religious studies what others in your church *should* believe and act. But the atheist is elusive, determining right and wrong from all sources of wisdom and their own personal experiences.
The church - all churches - preach to their minions that the ONLY way to be a good person is to believe in and obey God. They teach that even the greatest of human benefactors, if not part of God's "flock", are automatically damned to Hell.
