Sadly, many of them are taken from forums dedicated to religious fundamentalism where you will find the other members in agreement.
Clearly, the type of people who participate on forums where
discussion of even Christian rock is prohibited (because rock music is evil) are not even close to a majority of religious people. Still, they are out there, as much as I'd like to believe they're really atheists trying to make religious people look bad.
Also, there are some stupid statements from atheists on the "Fundamentalists Say the Darndest Things!" page as well, although the page does focus primarily on fundamentalist Christians. Sadly, it's not too difficult to find militant atheists either: 20/20's recent 'debate' between 2 atheists and Kirk Cameron & Ray Comfort is proof of this. It's unfortunate how far 20/20 has fallen since Ted Koppel left, but they got 2 ridiculous fundamentalist Christians, and 2 rude, militant atheists for the 'debate.' Rather than a news report, it was a sad lesson in stereotypes. So, fundamentalism is out there in all shapes and sizes, even when we'd like to think it's too ridiculous to be true
