Why do atheist people love to debate people?

I'm at my dads house and he's watching some YouTuber who's always trying to debate religious people. Even when I was younger my mom and dad would argue about religion pretty much everyday. I have never really been a religious person but if someone wants to pray I have no problem just putting my head down and thinking about my mom. I just don't understand the need to argue about it or get upset it, especially if it doesn't personally affect you, but maybe somebody here could help me understand

... because they believe they're smarter and more naturally virtuous than everyone else in the room.
ETA: Whenever one of them tries that bullshite on me I always hit them with Pascal's Wager and that usually causes them to either stutter or they'll start screaming or they just huff and puff and stfu and walk off mumbling some other nonsensical bullshite.

Atheists have a belief system in believing that God isn’t real. It drives them to argue that their belief system is right amongst the others.
Agnostics are way better. They say they either don’t know or don’t care and move on.

Not sure I understand what OP is asking.
Isn’t the point of debate to challenge your POV against the views of others?
Is your grievance about debate, or debate about only certain topics that should be off-limits from debate?

Insecurity for the most part.

No one proselytizes their religion like an atheist does their religion of no religion. NO ONE!

I don’t know if arguing is the right word, but is it that much different from proselytizing ? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I’m going to hell if I don’t believe a certain way.

Pascal's wager is a philosophical argument presented by the seventeenth-century French mathematician, philosopher, physicist and theologian Blaise Pascal (1623–1662). It posits that human beings wager with their lives that God either exists or does not.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas if God does exist, they stand to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (an eternity in Hell).
The original wager was set out in Pascal's posthumously published Pensées ("Thoughts"), an assembly of previously unpublished notes. Pascal's wager marked the first formal use of decision theory, existentialism, pragmatism, and voluntarism.
The wager is commonly criticized with counterarguments such as the failure to prove the existence of God, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from inauthentic belief.

Atheists are the vegans of theology.
