I have noticed that everyone has a longing for the love of the Lord, weather they admit it or not. We all have something within us that knows Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, yet for so many years we suppress it, and try and push it down.
That, I believe, is why atheists care about us believing in Christ. Logically, if there is no God, what would they care about who we worship? But deep down they know the truth, though they will not admit it. So a fear of what will happen wells up, and instead of surrendering, they fight (as every sinner did once).
I think it's something like, if I can make them stop believing, than it must be so. If they lose faith than there really is nothing to fear. Throughout history we see empires, rulers, warlords, etc; trying to destroy God's word, and His people, yet the Lord is gracious, and still has a use for His people.
Through it all, He reigns victorious, and continues to use us, such wretched people, to His glory. How great the feeling that comes with doing His work! How great His love! How great our sin, yet far greater, His mercy!
The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness. -R.A. Heinlein
Proverbs 31:8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

The Sheepdog
The Sheepdog never backs down from what he knows is right. His friends know they can count on him with anything. His goal is to help anyway he can. Bullies fear him, those in need run to him. Though he may not be seen, he is always there in a time of need.
The Sheepdog is a light in a world of darkness, guiding those who would otherwise stumble. He never looks down on anyone except to help them up. His step is sure, his hand steady. Those who turn to him will find a friend, faithful to the end. Those who rise against him will find an enemy to be reckoned with.
The Sheepdog is loyal to a fault. Stand next to him, you'll never stand alone. He will defend you to the death. Those he trusts are few, but those who call him friend will find a warrior bent on destroying any evil. Those the sheepdog trusts are those he knows will fight next to him. They are, in effect, true friends.
