Atheists use "contemptuous dismissal" as an excuse to not
address any real issues.  If a store clerk is an atheist,
and you give em $20.00 for a $14.95 item, don't be surprised
if e "contemptuously dismisses" the fact that you're supposed
to get $5.05 change.  If you try to discuss it with em, expect
em to say "Ha ha ha, I will not discuss it because I know I'm
right."

Meanwhile, you've just lost $5.05 because the store clerk is
using "contemptuous dismissal" as an excuse to not give you
your change.

Then, you only have a few options:

1.  Eat your losses, accept that "atheists are just like that
and will steal money from me a lot".

2.  Resort to physical violence, probably causing more problems
than you cause.

3.  Argue with the store clerk who will never face reality and
give you your change -- you wind up only wasting time.

4.  Say "atheists are like that, and will never change," so I'll
just stop dealing with them completely -- not a bad idea.

5.  Say "atheists are like that, and will never change... but I can
have fun with them."  Make a hobby out of getting spare change,
dangling it in front of them, and watching them scamper around
like jackals to steal it.  End result: they get some spare change,
but you get hour upon hour of fun.

I, of course, choose the last.
