It's called objective thinking. It is a process where a person examines and analyzes a topic or issue without the influence of emotion or personal bias. It is a crucial part of critical thinking, as it allows for a fair assesment based on a neutral approach.

If you identify too closely with a set of beliefs such that little else has any consideration for your attention, then the slightest attack on that belief feels like a wounding blow. In other words, theists are WAY too prickly.
Atheists are usually pretty firm about what they believe but it's not important for them that everyone else validates their beliefs by sharing them, or even respecting them. That's a good thing.

It's fun to generalize about large groups of people, isn't it?
There is no way any one person could truthfully say "all atheists have mechanism X"
The only thing that you can say with certainty is that all atheists do not believe in god. That's it.

Yes, it's called cultivating a mind that is calm, understanding the causes and conditions that cause other people to say certain things that push people's "buttons", and understanding the causes and conditions that allow your buttons to be pushed (i.e. reacting from a sense of self-cherisment/ego) and eliminating them. When your ego is subdued you're less likely to be all worried about what other people think, especially when their behavior is designed to be unkind or somesuch.

A mechanism? I don't know.
All I can say is that when you continually question everything, even your own beliefs, you don't get hung up on criticism.
If I'm wrong, I'm willing to admit it if someone can prove it.
How many bible thumpers are willing to admit an error?

1) It's "affected" not "effected".
2) Yes - it's called rationality.

Don't many people, in many walks of life? Even if we give wise advice to someone, they may just go ahead and do their own thing anyway.
We have free will. We can choose to listen or not. God made us this way and He created us all.

Agnostics have the
FU mechanism...is that what you mean?
We say FU or F-off in special circumstances. Meaning we dont give a F what others think....religiously speaking.

No. It is just that they think about what people say. Theists are not allowed to think, but must accept and obey.
