I don't really understand why there's such an objection to that end of the philosophical spectrum, even if it were as common as people think. Descartes believed he could prove the existence of god - so god existed to him. No one attacks his, for a lack a better term (this sounds more harsh then I want it to but) intellectual arrogance. If someone chooses to shut that out it doesn't make them anymore insane than you or I, whether they use logic and the strength of that logic isn't really important.

This is why I have a problem with most theistic people I've encountered. They seem to have trouble accepting the validity of atheism, or even agnosticism but they completely embrace theism of all stripes (unless it's Islam of course, but that's a different argument.) It's ridiculous, especially seeing as their fellow religious people tend to be the one making more contrary/extreme claims about reality then they (cue holy wars.) Anyway, what I'm getting at is I don't see the core difference between the propagandist nature of misotheists and many theists, particularly evangelicalism which is basically based off the idea of "were right, you're wrong. Now lets shove it down your throat because we're morally superior."
