Your point is that an atheist shouldn't even have an opinion (positive or negative) about something he thinks is a false symbol, right? He shouldn't even care. You could say the same thing along the lines of why should those that believe its wrong to slaughter millions of Jews be offended by a symbol that stands for the group that did - you already know its wrong, so why let it bother you?

Maybe not a very good analogy. Forget it!

> How is an atheist offended by something that he knows doesn't exist?

It's very easy to be offended when you know something doesn't exist but everyone else around you is deluded into thinking that it does. Especially when that something dictates much of the way they conduct their lives.
