Seriously? Perhaps you could explain what evangelical activities atheists do. Do we speak in tongues and pretend to get supernatural knowledge? Tell the world about how atheism will save your souls? Pray to nature to cure our illness?
Hammock is making a fair point. I've run across atheists who can't seem to shut up about atheism, who force it into every conversation, and make a point of telling theists how wrong they are, often unprovoked, and in a loud, impolite manner. These are the people who want all references to religion out of public life and would hardly balk at book-burning.
If this isn't 'evangelical atheism', I'm sure I don't know what is.
