I think some people feel insulted because by being an atheist they think you're denying them their beliefs. Whereas agnostics can say "well your belief may or may not be valid" people think an atheist is saying "your belief is not valid"... whether the atheist is saying that or not.
Also many holy books make it seem like being a non-believer is worse than murder...
As far as agnostics who think atheists are awful, I don't get what their problem is.
