Granted the atheists rarely resort to violence over those issues like many have done in the Moslem world.
Atheists don't get angry with people over reaching different conclusions, we get angry with how those conclusions are reached i.e. via a lack of critical thinking. Nothing personally concerns me more than the lies children are taught by their religious parents, not because I care if they grow up to embrace religion or secularism, but rather because it promotes a fundamentally erroneous methodology for discerning truth from falsehood. And in a world of 7 billion people who collectively have tremendous influence on our environment, that can be potentially lethal.
