Why do atheist people love to debate people?
Had the front doorbell rung by plenty of denominations wanting to proselytize and debate.
Never by an atheist.

Because they like to mass debate.

Hmmm... Can you point me to any brick and mortar locales where people gather to soak in the words of evangelical atheists?

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.
It's not about intellectual truth or basic ideology. it's just about attacking western civilization, even if the individual 'atheists' don't realize it.

Pascal’s Wager is a bit weird though because it’s based on a potentially fabricated story. So while I understand the concept of it, it means nothing unless you decide to acknowledge having faith in something that common sense tells you isn’t real. Not trying to push the debate further. Just an observation.
There are some other good reads that expound upon the "fabricated" versus "perceived" versus "faith" based ideals waved about by various factions over the millennia. My personal favorite and the one general considered-to-be the first word on the subject is by William James.

When Muslims, Jews, Hindus, or Zoroastrians start to dominate US politics, we promise to shift our gaze to them. Until then, we’re all yours, love

Then get to work, because we're there, especially with jews. But you probably knew that. You're just too much of a pussy to follow through.

There are far more evangelical christians than evangelical atheists. Atheists don’t go door to door bothering you. Atheists sknt have multimillion dollar churches displayed on television.
Christians are far far more annoying.

Even if I were to concede your point, which I don’t, ethnic Jews != religious Jews. But you probably knew that.
