Christians do. Jews do. I've read the bible, so I'm quite certain that death is meant to be a common response to people who don't convert quickly enough.

Individuals can't say things like that, but the atheists in general are not commanded by anyone with authority over them to kill religious people or burn in eternal agony.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
