Hating religious people also is not part of atheism. You can get very apathetic atheists for example. Or you can get atheists such as myself that hate religion but not religious people.
Disliking religious people isn't atheism, it's anti-theism. And even if you're an anti-theist, you don't necessarily hate theists so much that you want to stab them...

So it's ok for me to be fundamentalist as a theist, but for an atheist fundamentalism is impossible! How convenient.
I was atheist and because of my atheist beliefs hated Christians so much I wanted to stab them. I see here very many people very angry at their past experiences with religion, and I can sympathize.
Atheism does not equal theist stabbing nut jobs. Theism isn't an evil scourge. PEOPLE can be atheist theist stabbing nut jobs like myself. PEOPLE can do bad stuff in the name of religion.
Kyu wishes to censor the opinion of theists because he will not tolerate equality. Racist South Africa didn't allow black people the vote because they wouldn't tolerate equality.
