More Atheists misbehaving

Had a friend today ask me to write his grievance at work.  What was the subject?  His boss occasionally leaves a bible on his desk.  He brought up this article.  Why do Americans "still" not like Atheists?

It's quite simple. When most Christians I've met find out someone is non-Christian, they sigh and go on with their day. They "know" they are "right", and pity the nonChristian, but they tend to respect and leave alone. Although they can make a nice hysterical mob, as do all other assorted isms.  When an Atheist finds out someone has faith, they instantly think of that person as something unintelligent and possibly dangerous, like an ape. Atheists don't wait until they get in large groups to spray urine all over those who believe differently, they tend to be annoying on an individual basis.

The fact that this writer tries to compare their "plight" to that of Jews and blacks and yet doesn't understand why people find them annoying is funny. Get back to me when black people willingly choose their skin color or when atheists are being shipped to the gas chamber and then this can be said without being stunningly idiotic. He probably thinks he was very incisive and drew a wonderful comparison there. Intellectual hubris at it's finest.

Does every atheist act like a 5 year old when he finds out someone has faith? I hear not, but I haven't ever met one. Go to any message board for a fine microcosm. Most Christians, Jews, Muslims, Shintoists and so on might chime in but mostly don't care enough to make a big deal out of it.  There's always a fine and large cast of Atheists willing to stand up and be a prick the instant someone even mentions God, or worse, even DARES to suggest they celebrate Christmas.

Protip: If you want America to like Atheists, it has to start with you. Quit being such a babydick about others having faith in something that is immeasurable and therefore cannot be proved or disproved. Quit leaping up to insult others while screaming "We ATHEISTS do it right, we say get along peacefully, live and let live, you stupid inbred sisterfucking redneck orangutan!"
