While I'll grant you there are certainly many atheists who make it their life's work to denounce a higher power and spread their opinion to others, i'd readily (and I think easily) argue that there are FAR more religious people who do exactly the same on behalf of THEIR beliefs. WAY more. Atheists have never killed, fought wars, tortured, imprisoned, or converted-by-force any people that I am aware of, at any time, ever, in the name of "there is no God". If i'm wrong, I welcome the education.
