Yes, but what does "acting like an obnoxious fundamentalist" mean for an atheist?

Edit: Also, how is that rude? If you believe in God, he can't die, and if you don't, he can't either. The phrase is, in itself, meaningless, a metaphor, which I still think is very apt to describe the state of orphanage after losing God as a perpetual father figure watching over you.

To dismiss someone's opinion with a short resolute statement like that is always perceived as rude. When the opinion is of great importance for the person and the statement mentions death, even worse.
