I think alot of this stems from the fact that atheists are the least trusted of all American people. I live in the "bible belt" and I see a very indignant and hypocritical attitude from the majority of "christians" around here. If I happen to mention that I don't believe in God when someone is touting how people are sinners and God will send them to hell, it's almost as though they've been punched in the face. I really don't care how a person believes yet it always seems like people care about what I believe.
Christians are no better than an atheist. To say that only atheists act like this is purely ignorant. There will always be radicals on any front of any belief. It's classic. Jesus was considered a radical in his time, so to see it now shouldn't really come as a big surprise to anyone.
The fact is, believe what you want but don't get all pissy when my views don't match yours. Do what is right for you and leave me be.
I also agree with Charlatan, anytime a politician touts the phrase, "god bless America", it simply forces a view that I do not agree with and I would guess the only reason they say the phrase is to win the vote of the majority vote.. which is religious. I'm not attacking anyone who believes in christianianity, I'm just merely pointing out that perhaps people who claim to love everyone should actually look at themselves before they start examining <b>MY</b> beliefs. Save yourself instead of me. kthanx.
