Don't most ahteists especially scientists, make arrogant claims that there is no possibility of God and theists are all wrong and such? That's kind of a condescending no it all view I think, and is obviously arrogant, just as much as any theist claims.

Well, that's my point, it's an arrogant, condescending, attitude. Theists shouldn't be critised for being certain in the belief in God if atheists aren't. It's the same idea isn't it? I mean, thesists believe in God, so why critisise them for expressing that belief? Their freedom is an atheists freedom and vice versa. So if theism is arrogant is arrogant, then atheism is no less arrogant. Actually, certainty in the existence of anything unable to be proved or disproved is arrogant, including atheism as well as theism.
Thanks for the welcom, and sorry to not make a distinction on the whole thing of some scientists believing in God and some not. I'll try to be more clear and specific next time.
