I just feel it important to call attention to how theists are sometimes treated.
They often are picked on, or made to feel bad by non-believers, just for believing.
I just think that sort of attitude isn't helpful
I can honestly say I've not been treated this way here. I think where people are coming from and making the claims of trying to 'incite' is that you are making general claims and attributing to a group and asking them to explain when in reality, most on here are not that way at all. It would be more helpful if you started with a specific claim or statement from Hitchens/Dawkins or other luminaries you mention and give your thoughts and ask others their thoughts. Instead you lump everyone who claims to be atheists together and tell them how they treat theists without citing any specific incident. It's an unfair characterization and misrepresentation.
If you want to genuinely have a conversation, limit your scope and ask other their opinions about a specific statement. Put down your broad brushes and finger pointing sticks.
"Christian" huh? What team are you really batting for pal?
