They're not atheists. They are theists of a competing religion. If you take their claims of atheism on face value, you render them invulnerable.
There are many competing religions that are persistent in their attacks on Christians. They win outright if they get you to direct your ire at a group that isn't even participating while they snipe you with impunity. Remember, atheists have no religious dogma to be threatened by your religion.
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
Not all atheists have a sense of superiority. But as for the bit about the deity being themselves, I think that is quite common even among believers. God always seems to like exactly the same things believers like and dislike exactly the same things. The believer often crafts a God to their liking. It's easier to worship that which you like.

No it has nothing to do with what they believe or don't believe, they are hate filled because of their behavior. There are lots of people who believe the same "supernatural claims" that I believe and are hate filled as well. Did this really need to be explained to you?
