I'm a bit tired of explaining my position so I'll quote wikipedia to make things clearer for you. This is why atheists are not fundamentalists:

Where does atheist fit in?

Well for starters you are using a very limited term of the word which does you absolutely no good and on top of this I am not being overtly serious and am making a semantical argument which is a fallacy 90% of the times.
I'm not talking about semantics here. I'm talking about the social use of the word 'fundamentalist' applied to atheist, putting semantics aside, as an adherence to a set of doctrines.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
