No it's the atheists telling everyone else to shut up... coz they're right :S
Of course atheism is negative... didn't you see the name folks? a-theism. It's an anti stance to theism. That's why it's viewed that way. If your stance was something positive: like materialism, existentialism, humanism... etc etc... joe public would think more favourably of you.
