That is not a strong argument.

It isn't that everyone here is according respect to religion as much as it is the people here respecting the reasonable members of religion on the virtue that they are human beings and their belief systems are important to them. Running around saying, "god isn't real, you guys are retarded because of what you believe, herfnesnerfnesnu," is just discourteous, whether your reasoning is justified or not and whether you are saying it just to harass them or you are saying it from a place of superiority. It isn't an issue of what you believe, it is an issue of being a considerate person.

There is nothing wrong with expressing dissension reasonably, but there is no need to be an ass about it (unless they are particularly asking for it like the people who post on those fundamentalist forums).
