Many Christians use Psalm 14:1 to indicate what God says about atheists. The word for fool is × ָבָל, nabal, which essentially means a vile person. Although many professing atheists display a profound lack of reasoning ability, nabal does not indicate lack of intelligence, but moral failing. But you knew that.
There is a big problem with Christians who act like God does not exist. We can effectively be atheists by saying in our hearts that there is no God; Christians can be fools. Phil Johnson has an excellent sermon about this called "Atheism in our Hearts". I hope you will download it (there's an arrow down at the far right of the thing below) or listen online.
