Haha, then I suppose we atheists have a habit of making hostility seem like par for the course. If I were you, I would choose a broad angle, such as discussing famous atheists in history. If you are going to go for just atheism, it would be rather short. If you go for hostility among atheists, I would be sure to balance it with hostility against atheists in the religion part. I don't say that because I am an atheist. I say that because your essay would look more well-rounded that way.
There are certainly a number of angles you could take on the paper, but you aren't going to get much until you choose one. I would suggest starting a new thread, once you have chosen your angle. You are bound to get more theists in on the discussion that way. I am sure they are avoiding this thread for the simple reason that they are not atheists and the title suggests that only the help of atheists is needed.
All good ideas, thanks.
