Although the damage that a theist does it likely to harm a particular god or religion, whereas the damage that an atheist does would not necessarily lead a person towards a god or religion, as much as it would lead them to avoid that particular atheist or atheist site.
Agreed. If several atheist sites came off as too abrasive (or whatever), then the future atheists might just call themselves "agnostics" to distance themselves from the term. Either way, they're still not believing in God.
