Religious "fanatics" often have aberrant beliefs of their own faith. Is this really what you mean to say?

Let me put it in other terms. I don't mean to say either atheism or mono/polytheism is bad.
Religion is based off of a system of beliefs that there is a higher, upper power. The key word there is beliefs, however. The idea that atheists think they are something special and that atheism is not a religion tends to make me scoff at their extreme arrogance and ignorance. There is no hard evidence either for or against the existance of God, so the fact that atheists think that atheism is not a religion is illogical. It is a
belief, nothing more, that God does not exist. Remember kids, in science, you always test against the normal established laws, not the other way around [Some form of religion is the established norm in this world, so the fact that atheists say "prove to me God exists" makes me laugh hard].
What I was trying to get at is that in my eyes, atheist fanatics [by fanatic, I mean someone extremely devoted i.e. fundamentalist/devout/practicing. I probably shouldn't group those things together, but oh well] are just as bad as the religious fanatics they bash.
I have a long way to go in life. Someday I'll probably look back and this and say what a fool I was for denying God. For now, I stand neutral [agnosticism=win].
