I know it can be trying to deal with combative atheists, however we should remember, all they have is their own limited understanding of the material world. They are surrounded by the spirit of the the Lord, but they can't see it or feel it. They're blinded by their logic and myopic view of life, ironically their knowledge makes them ignorant. They will argue details to support their claim that there is no big picture. There is no God in their lives all they see is what hits them over the head. On the path to enlightenment, they are stuck at square one. Have compassion for them. It is a superficial life, that clings to the belief that if they can't understand it, it doesn't exist. The “proof” they demand keeps them from seeing the obvious. Pray for them, even when they are most combative. When they shout it is a sign they aren't sure and is really a sign of hope for them. Pray for them, be patient with them, show them your understanding by being kind, don't fight them; hopefully though our compassion their eyes will be opened.
