That's because you're confusing atheism with atheists. Beyond that very basic qualifying criterion - not being a theist - atheists are not much different from anyone else. Shocking, I know; but it's like tarring all vegetarians as militant animal rights activists based on a handful of the better-known ones.
I was making no point whatsoever. I was describing the ideology called New Atheism. I don't think I was inaccurate in any way.
