Good, then don't even imply it. If atheists are individuals which we are, then we too can have OTHER motivations, like greed, or lust for power. We are not above human behavior because we too are humans. We are not above violence by proxy of label. Our ability to avoid violence is in our evolution, it's called empathy.
I can talk about the negative consequences of religiously motivated extremism all I want it doesn't even remotely imply that I think atheists are angels, aren't individuals and don't have other negative motivations like everyone else. Why would you think so little of me when I never ever said such a thing neither implicitly or explicitly? I thought you had more respect for me than that I feel very offended honestly, I wouldn't normally be but what upsets me is that I am only offended because I've always thought quite a lot of you and quite highly of you and I thought that that respect was mutual. I don't understand why you would misrepresent me like this when I've not even remotely implied such a thing. It saddens me that you seem to think I'm such a complete idiot because I actually really like you.
