Or we could start on those scientologists...

J/K.

I wasn't offended by it, despite the fact that I don't adher to any of the established religions. I guess you get used to it, but IMO when I read the thing, I felt the joke was on them. Because, they actually think it is foolish to not believe in an imaginary being - their imaginary being in particular. Well, it isn't clear: It could be that not believing in a christian god is perceived as idiotic, or that not believing in any of the many worldwide gods is foolish. Still, the logic of the joke struck me as too retarded to be insulting.
