Many want to push it because we see the detrimental effects Christianity and many other religions have had on society for DECADES and is still continuing to do so; for example the young woman who just died of blood poisoning in Ireland because the Catholic nurses and doctors refused to remove her miscarried baby since it still had a heart beat...that is murder, and to boot she wasn't even Catholic.
Many Atheists don't care if Christians believe their religion, go to church and feel their spiritual beliefs enrich their lives etc. What Atheists can't stand is when Christians try to force others to believe as they believe. Catholics trying to make abortion illegal or limit access to birth control. What really ticks me off personally is how Christians want to make LAWS to force others to follow their beliefs. Christians trying to outlaw same sex marriage in this recent election are another example; same sex couples affect you in no way, shape or form, other than by perhaps offending you and you want to control their entire lives just because of your religious beliefs.
Christians are absolutely INCAPABLE of live and let live.
We get it, the bible says go out and make disciples of all nations....but FORCING them to follow Christian teachings by making them law is nothing short of Christian Taliban. You say God gave man free will, then why is man trying to take it away from man?
Have your religion, that's fine....but leave others alone who don't believe as you do.

~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~
~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~
