I think that we (atheists) tend to be a little defensive, due to the massive amounts of religion we encounter in our every day lives. We get defensive easily and it may seem (to the theist) that it happens instantly, when the fact is that it was building from other sources prior to that encounter. It doesn't seem like believers see how much religion has permeated society at large, nor how preachy the neighborhood grocery store can be at times.
This is a purely American perspective, I know. Man, it sucks to be an atheist in the U.S.
