Umm, nobody here said that it doesn't. Don't be so disingenuous to make out like people are claiming things which they are not.
The point most people are making is that we generally don't give a fuck. We aren't on the crusade of trying to change the world to thinking like us. And why should we be? Atheism is not a religion, or a cause. Why are you so intent on thinking that it is.
I'm sure as humanity progresses smart people will eventually ditch their gods, but I personally have no interest in forcing the issue. They will come to the realisation (or not) of their own accord.
