It's about priorities. Every single person, whether they know it or not, has a hierarchy of values.
A Christian (a real one, not a poser) places ultimate, objective Good at the top of that hierarchy; above themselves, above their people, about their family. There is absolutely a debate around whether that's a good idea and what consitutes Good, but that's what they prioritise.
What does an atheist prioritise? Their own constructed, moral framework. Not even that; they think they can decide what is Good and what is evil, which means they think of themselves as equal to God, which basically makes them Satan worshippers, which is why so many of them love "science" (which they can use to validate their pride) and hate people of faith.
I come at this from having been raised atheist (ie I was left to figure things out with no moral guidance from my parents) and realising, with age, that it's totally pathological.
The most staunchly atheist person I know, you described well. Arrogant, has famous sayings framed on his walls mocking the faithful. Loves science. We don't get along. It's like nearly every atheist matches the memes. It's spooky.
