Unfortunately for a lot of people on both sides the experience is similar, Nina. Just like ever christian I run into isn't particularly well versed in their own doctrine or very capable of expressing themselves without resorting to scare tactics there are many ill informed atheists who are not very well read and bad at articulating ideas, and get defensive as well.
Regardless of what ideas one holds dear, we're all human, and humans sadly tend to screw up in this regard much the same way.
