This. Some of the most awful conversations I've had about religion are with atheists. I'm not religious at all but I find them to typically be just as close-minded as the worst fundamentalists.
At least with religious folk, I've felt more like I'm discussing things in good faith, no pun intended

It's so weird to me that atheists won't even acknowledge that there could be something beyond our perception of reality on this plane of existence

Something that isn't measurable has no impact on anything, and is therefore has no relevance. It only has relevance if it did have impact on something, as that in itself would be measurable. If the thing in question isn't perceptible because it is outside of this plane of existence, then it is still irrelevant, as it would only be relevant if it contacted this plane of existence.

What I'm saying is, something that has no bearing on us is meaningless to us, and it only has meaning when it has measurable bearing on us.
