I have no problem with people believing in God. I have problems with people believing in God and thinking that they can speak and know what it wants, and that everyone must therefore follow a strict set of rules.
It is true that there is no hope or purpose in atheism, but then atheism isn't a doctrine or a set of beliefs to subscribe to. I follow a "doctrine" of secular humanism, which has the same hope and purpose as Christianity.
Truth be told, I'm not strictly against religion anyway. I just want every religion to recognize secularism as the *only* political system that can be fair in a multi-faith society. I don't care what rules religions put on their followers (as long as their followers are their voluntarily). All I care is that they understand that their rules should not influence how anyone else lives their lives.
