That also seems to be true of many people who do claim to believe in something greater than themselves. The difference I observe is that most of them act that way about their belief rather than their own selves, but they still act that way. Believers aren't annoying in and of themselves, and neither are non-believers. Arrogant people of any stripe are.
Many believers try to be truly humble, but for many more it's not really about God, but about
MY God. There are also many like me, who don't actively
believe there is nothing greater, just passively acknowledge that we don't know for sure one way or the other, and can't see that anyone else does either.
