Feel sorry for atheists?

Many people feel sorry for atheists. For me, this is ironic as hell (npi), because I actually feel sorry for believers. Whenever I see a believer confronted with opposing views, they always seem to have that 'deer in the headlights look' in their eyes. For example, my sophomore year at college I remember that very look in a biology class when the teacher talked about evolution (and he made little jabs at creationism). I also feel sorry for believers because I believe they are missing out on a lot, that their beliefs instill fear, fear for the sake of the controlling religion. Anyways, this post isn't going to be that particularly long, but what do you think? Should atheists feel sorry for believers in this way? Why should believers feel sorry for atheists?

In reality, I don't think many believers (if any) actually feel sorry for atheists; they say that they feel sorry for atheists as a way of putting them down without directly attacking them.
