I less and less respectfully disagree, especially when the theist in question has done nothing to deserve any of it.
Some theists are well-spoken and not preachy. They deserve the good treatment they've earnt.
Others, though, it's not a matter of me grinding any ax, but rather, pushing back against some asshole making purblind assumptions about me based on my lack of belief. I know I'm not alone in this approach. I also know that those atheists who wish for higher body-counts in churches earn the scorn and calumny ... and also assist the broad-brush we all chafe under.
Assholes come in all stripes.
