Guilty of this. I'm not apologizing for it, either, not with the STELLAR [/sarcasm] record involved with people who are religious treating when me they find out I'm an atheist.
Some occasionally prove me wrong. And I am polite and nice to them and I completely disregard their beliefs as being a factor in anything in our interactions. But this is one out of every ten at best. I'm not going to waste my time and energy being polite to people who will turn out to be completely undeserving of it. And if someone proves me wrong then I will gladly rectify my mistake.
