Quirky, narcissistic, poor listener, beligerent about everything, odd (in a bad way) false/poor self image, constantly pessimistic, rude, inconsiderate, selfish or just simply crazy...
I get the impression that most are overall angry when having to deal with an abundance of theists. I don't know a ton of atheists outside of the internet, but there is a lot of anger that can come out rude, belligerent and all sorts of negative. That's not to say they are any different then people on the other side, because I've seen plenty of so-called Christians be three times as rude or crazy. I read a blog a few weeks ago by Greta Christina concerning atheists and anger, and it made a lot of sense. I'll drop a link, but I warn you that it may piss you off if you read it...
