Please remember not to use above quote so often. Because now a day most of atheists read bible and so they know,
Matthew 5:22 - "But whosoever shall say 'Thou fool' shall be in danger of hell fire.

I don't mean this question for those who see the Bible as a whole.
This mean for those, who always love to quote from Bibles without really knowing the bible as whole.
"God love...... " so on..
However they hide what they don't want you to see.
"Kill all ..... except virgin".

If atheists are offended by God's word, then, so be it. But, when someone comes up to Me, and mocks my Lord, then I will use His word, the way it was INTENDED to be used, to make him or her understand WHAT GOD THINKS about it. If they do not understand His word, then they are not seeking to understand it. You will not find the truth. Those who do not seek the truth will not find it. They read the Bible OUT OF CONTEXT. I am not threatened by what they THINK they know about God's word. The verse that says "A fool has said in his heart there is no God." is a direct quote out of the Bible. THE WORDS GOD SAID ABOUT IT, not ME telling someone they are a fool, like in Matthew 5:22. Do you see the difference?

God is not endangering Himself in anyway, nor is He contradicting Himself. I like how all the atheist claim to know so much about the bible, yet, they open their mouths and make "fools" of themselves. If all the Atheist in the world had 99.9 percent knowledge about the creation, and everything inside and outside the earth, they would still not have enough to know if God existed. How can you even call yourselves Atheist because you honestly don't know! So it's not that you don't believe a God exist, you just don't know. This is what that verse is talking about:
When Jesus said in Matthew 5:22 that you should not call anyone a fool, contextually, He was speaking of those who were unrighteously angry. That is why Jesus mentions anger in this verse. There is a righteous anger which is not sinful (Eph. 4:26 - "Be angry and do not sin . . ." ) as well as unrighteous anger that is sinful (James 1:20 - "for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God."). When God is angry with someone, He is always righteous in His anger. Jesus, being God in flesh (John 1:1,14; 20:28; Col. 2:9;), can righteously be angry with people and pronounce upon them the foolishness of their deeds which He did (Matt. 23:17). Also, undoubtedly, Jesus knew Psalm 14:1 which says, "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God . . ." Jesus didn't forget the well known verse and God is not wrong for calling someone a fool, especially when it is true, because He indeed is God.

The phrase idiot in Psalm 14:one million; and fifty three:one million is the Hebrew phrase nabal because of this missing expertise; now not having or displaying the right recognize; and delight and disobedience to God; a vile man or woman. The phrase idiot in Matthew five:22 is the Greek phrase moros which we get our English phrase moron from. As you'll see there's a quality change, however both method it's nonetheless the Word of God and sure a few of us honestly do have an understanding of one of the most bible and we research it diligently below the steerage of the writer the Holy Spirit. I do desire this is helping.

Atheists may read the Bible but they and certainly you have no clue as to use and context.
In Matt 5-22 Christ is talking about the use of "Thou fool," as a spiteful word, and stemming from hatred.
As contrasted:
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Prov 26:4-5 (KJV)
Wherein the Bible speaks of a non-believer as being foolish. See the difference, nah I thought not.

As a christian it bothers and even offends me when those also professing to be Christians take a verse an use it as a weapon or use it out of context rather than discuss a subject. Ovecourse I find it quite frustrating and just as juvenile when those professing other beliefs just use snide remarks rather than engage in discussion. Wouldn't it be a lot more enjoyable if we could have a few more discussions and fewer 4th grade name calling bouts? Is anyone up for it?

The word fool as used in Mathew 5:22 came from the word
Racca, and it means "unsaveable". Because that would be judging and only God is to judge who is saved and who is not. We are not qualified .

We expect atheists to read the Bible. We however know they can't understand what they read. This is an excellent example. You cannot understand without the Holy Spirit.

The word Fool that is used in the Matthew account means "worthless"(of no value). It is calling God's creation,useless. It is not synonomous with the word fool that is used in the Psalms text
My good buddy Crow agrees with me and he is really smart.

It does feel good to be considered by God to be wise and spend eternity in Heaven with Him. I can't speak for those you mentioned.
Great insight. Where do you stand?
