Don't they realize atheism has no dogmas, therefore there can't be any fundamentalism? Stop using that word theists, I don't think it means what you think it means!
(specially when talking about Mao Zedong, Stalin and other political leaders who were/are against religion)
I hate that shit too. Now while you could find some atheists who'd like to see religion outlawed, I am not one of those. I certainly see religion as poison, and a distraction and distortion of our species common existence, but we do not live in a utopia and even if I wanted to force religion out of existence it wouldn't be practical on a planet of 7 billion.
Having said that, blasphemy and cussing only makes one blunt, not fundamentalist. Offending someone only means you offended them, it does not mean you want to kill them.
Why shouldn't I be objecting claims of fictional sky heros? Why shouldn't I hate the divisive nature of religion? Why should I value sexism, bigotry, homophobia and xenophobia?
Atheism is the noise people make in the face of naked assertions with no evidence.
