An atheist zealot is just another kind of religious zealot. I see no difference.
I left my faith behind when I read St Thomas Aquinas and saw the Ontological Argument for the flawed piece of self-convincing handwaving that it is. I don't have to convince anyone else of that--I'm secure enough in my "non-faith" that I can tolerate others believing whatever they believe.
Incidentally, I'd say that in the balance, as much good has come of religion as evil since the dawn of mankind. It's just that the evil tends to be all concentrated in once place and it makes the news a whole lot more than the good.
