Is everybody equal in atheism?

Tone it down, people. This thread is getting out of hand

Typical atheists.

You see there are two ways you can go with atheism. On one hand, you may say "Atheism is the only truth, and we need to convert the world to our way of thinking". On the other hand, Atheism can see itself as coexisting with other beliefs, with the focus simply on protecting and preserving the rights and freedoms of atheists and converts to atheism.

I'd rather coexist with religious / theistic folk than try and make them believe (or disbelieve) the things I do. I try to convince people of my positions if I think they're correct, but again, I don't want it to be a situation where people are being forced into believing something. In regards to atheism specifically; I don't know there are no gods, so I don't try to convince people there aren't. What I do try to do (when I can be bothered) is convince others that it makes more sense to reserve judgement on the issue. I also like to point out errors in reasoning where I see them. People did the same for me (although I mostly had my poor reasoning exposed indirectly by reading rather than in discussion) and I guess I'm attempting to return the favour. That's not to say that I'm a flawless reasoner or free of cognitive bias, of course.
