Where's the line between atheist and oppressor?

I've got the impression atheists not only reject the reality of God, they are busy with oppressing those who do believe too.

We all know Jesus said to pray for those who do bad to you.

Criticism is not oppression.

This is to oppress: to burden with cruel or unjust impositions or restraints; subject to a burdensome or harsh exercise of authority or power.

There's no line between atheist and oppressor or theist and oppressor. You're an oppressor if you oppress. Your mere atheism or mere theism don't enter into it. It takes more than an opinion on whether God exists or not to make someone an oppressor. And it takes more than pointing out flaws and hypocricies to make a tiny minority and oppressor of a vast majority.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
