Most believers don’t [...]

I have two very courteous interviews with American Indians posted to YouTube.
90% of the comments (and there are hundreds of them) are fully against me because they think that I’m insulting the two “elders” with my beliefs. My problem is two-fold:

Atheist evangelists. Why? Can you think of anything more ridiculous than grown men standing around with signs proclaiming that God doesn’t exist?
If He doesn’t exist, why even mention it? This sounds like something that would go over really well at a keg party, with half-snockered frat boys giving wedgies while inhaling from beer-bongs. Nope. These guys were middle-aged [...]
