That is not it at all.
The difference between talking about god and talking about someone who believes in peter pan is that the guy who believes in Peter Pan isn't constantly trying to tell me that I am wrong/need to change/laws need to change etc.
If the Peter Pan guy was as passionate about his fairy tale as many Christians are I am sure that atheists would argue just as strongly with him as they do with Christians.
There may be a small minority that fear God does exist but for the vast majority of them they have seen the evidence and it is clear to them that he does not.
