Why do skeptics get so emotional and aggressive in opposing biblical Christianity? Why does it bother them? Why does it matter at all to them? [Spirituality & Religion]

Think about the well-known skeptic Richard Dawkins. Why does he spend so much time writing and speaking against Someone (God) he doesn’t believe exists? Why is he so aggressive against biblical Christianity? In an ultimately purposeless and meaningless existence, why does it matter to him if people believe in the God of the Bible and the account of creation as outlined in Genesis? Why bother fighting against such people when, from his perspective, eventually no one will even know they ever existed? They claim that they care about people and argue that believing in creation is harmful to society. But something deeper is going on. They aren’t fighting for the truth, but suppressing it.

Hmm sounds a lot like Christians who have to "spread the word" to prevent people from going to hell. They are two sides of the same coin sometimes.
@SW-User Sounds like you're making fun of Christians.

@LadyGrace Nope. Just pointing out that Christians and many atheists have more in common than they think. Both think they have a better of way living and understanding the world that they need to spread and that people who don't believe as they do are worse off.
@SW-User With Christianity, this is the way Jesus told his disciples to spread the good news of hope and life eternal, in Christ, after his death. He obviously was here for a short time, only 33 years, so he encouraged his followers to preach the gospel to the world, after his death. No one is forced to listen or agree.
