Disliking religious people isn't atheism, it's anti-theism. And even if you're an anti-theist, you don't necessarily hate theists so much that you want to stab them...

It seems the religious community is desperate to make atheism something other than a word with the definition "without belief." No. They must willfully lie about it.
My guess is they think it gives them credibility if we're as screwed up as they are.
