I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or not when I read that quote yesterday (almost done with The God Delusion, by the way). I forgot the actual hate-mail that came in, but I believe it had something to do along the lines of generalizing all atheists to being the stereotypical "fat, hamburger eating" type of people.
...and to be honest, I love me a good hamburger; as well as cheese. Could be my ethnicity, but who knows?
