Why are atheists all insufferable assholes?

That's a unidimensional conceptualization of belief. Atheism doesn't mean certain. That's a separate variable, which is why a two-dimensional model is so superior.

The more commonly accepted model is two-dimensional, with theism-atheism on one axis, and knowability on the other. Atheists are dispersed widely across the knowability axis, whereas theists tend to bunch up on the high knowability end, because of faith, Pascal's wager, etc. Religious people are much more certain than atheists, regardless of the model you use. If you use the unidimensional model with Religious on one end, Agnostic in the middle, and Atheist on the other end, the points on the Religious half of the scale will cluster closer to the extreme than Atheist points among the general population. There would probably be exceptions if you limited the Atheist sample to only Marxists or something.
If you use the annoying faggot model online atheists and extreme theist's are all bunched up in the same corner.

Because, like vegans, they are generally narcissistic people who are just looking for some prop lifestyle to give them a smug sense of moral superiority so they can look down on people. In reality, they’re generally the biggest bores on the planet, who have to substitute that type of shit for actually developing a personality.
