As you noted, they summarily dismiss and belittle the beliefs of other Christians, but won't allow atheists to do the same. Just like them, most of us studied the beliefs of "traditional" or "typical" Christianity and found them unsupported and lacking. We just went one step further and also dismissed the fuzzy god that they believe in, too. Atheists who don't mention this are the "good" atheists, the ones who will sit in the back of the bus while religious belief sets the agenda.
