Many people will actually see miracles as more of a hindrance than a help for the case for the existence of God, and therefore a lot of believers will actually not believe in miracles.
This is because if God is capable of performing miracles, some of these are seen as mundane compared to the good that could be performed with such a power.
For example, questions such as why God showed a vision of the Virgin Mary but didn't stop the Holocaust can be raised.
Therefore, it's actually often more advantageous to disbelieve miracles if you want to argue for the existence of God.

What do atheists believe about miracles?
An atheist does not believe in miracles as miracles are a suspension of all the normal normal actions in the world for the benefit of a person. An atheist believes in probability, chance (the reason for winning lotteries or avoiding a falling rock), the outcome of bravery, hard work and education (why doctors cure disease and firefighters can rescue babies). The "big miracles" like the creation of the Universe life are the seen as the result of science and the interaction of chemicals. No divine intervention is needed. The Bible miracles like changing water to wine, raising the dead, ax heads floating on water and so on are seen as just unsubstantiated stories. Modern miracles like faith healing, saintly visits, divine instruction are seen as either misinterpreted natural events or stories.

What do people think about miracles today?
Now a days people are attending churches just after seeing a miracle of healing being done. But nothing of salvation is mentioned in these churches in any way. I've never heard of or seen anyone raised from the Dead. The miracles in the new testament took many forms, walking on water, feeding thousands with next to nothing, fixing a withered limb like new. Why is it that people who claim to do miracles today do things that are no where near miraculous? Its because they are false prophets. True miracles preformed by man by the power of God are no longer needed. We have the Bible. Miracles were needed at the time the Gospel was being delivered first to the Jews then the Gentiles because who would believe anything Jesus said if he just told stories. He needed to confirm them with great power through undeniable miracles. Once the gospel was complete they were no longer needed. Also the bible clearly predicts of the false signs and wonders to come. Thats what you are seeing. If anyone is preaching anything that contradicts what the Bible says they are a false prophet. Gal 1 vs 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! Quit searching you have what you need. Its called the New Testament.
Were people against Jesus's miracles in the bible?
The only people against the miracles Jesus did during his ministry were the Pharisees, Sadducee and some other self-righteous muckety mucks. Do you get the idea? The sinners and desperate and those who understood Jesus was the sent one (Messiah) and the Son of God did not object to the miracles. The miracles were revelations of Jesus being God and that God can overcome nature and He gets the glory. It were the egocentric yahoos who did not like the miracles. They needed one too, one of their hearts being softened, humbled and loved.
