I also don't understand that, but I guess that makes me more of an agnostic. Personally, I just don't bother with anything that I can't prove or disprove based on evidence. It just doesn't affect me one way or the other, so I don't care. I have trouble understanding the motivations of "hard core" atheists who are try enlighten everyone else. What's the point, why not let people believe whatever they like?
Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) is a bit like that, he seems hostile to religion instead of just treating it as a harmless fantasy.
