Really? Insults and mockery of religion is the norm, rather than the exception on these forums. You cannot say the same for believers, who are normally respectful and gracious, and insulting comments are the exceptions.
Are you trolling? Honestly, are you just taking the mickey? If not, that's either a pretty deep-set delusion or a bald-faced lie. There is no disparity whatsoever in the rudeness or respectfullness of atheists and theists on this forum. They're just as bad and just as decent as each other.
As to the actual question itself, I'm of the opinion that they meant it in regards to the world, and in the world theistic minded people are generally a great deal more condescending, a great deal more aggressive, and a great deal more violent. One doesn't see atheists cutting people's heads off, forming death cults, bombing buildings, forming giant rallies funded by international ministries, in the name of atheism.
It just doesn't happen.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
