The problem is white atheists in America do nothing to encourage minority atheists to join their ranks...they're just like the Republicans who think it's a good idea to have a few token blacks and hispanics to entice the minorities, but that always fail quite miserably.

Most of the conservative leaders that caused the most destruction in history have been atheists. It only took them 50 years to ten-fold outmatch the theists in terms of sheer brutality. But wait....next someone will use the No True Scotsman fallacy to bullshit out of that reality.
I do have to agree with Agenda though....most people don't have an issue with the religion of America so much as Americans themselves....Americans are going to act the same way whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jew, or Atheist. I have seen far too many American atheists who simply copy their beliefs from a blogger's website (sounds just like those Fundies with their Biblical interpretations). One Yank was such a dolt,. he thought that using an atheist blog to explain advanced evolution principles was valid when basic university (state college evolution courses) websites thoroughly disproved it.
Min, from your comments, you have agreed with many positions made by the WBC. You really want to act like them?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
