There are fanatics in every religion (or belief system). Just because a few people are fanatics doesn't make all of them fanatics. Yes, some atheists are assholes, and fanatics, and won't listen to anything you try to tell them. Guess what? So are some Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Pagans, etc. Doesn't mean everyone is that way. That's like saying all Asians are good at math, or all black people are criminals. It's a generalization, and like all generalizations it's incorrect, including this one.
And saying "Shut the Fuck up" isn't going to make you seem like one of the more enlightened...
