Fuck 'em.
And how many have you fuckers killed?
I haven't killed anyone. I've never heard of anyone killing in the name of atheism.
About religious tolerance. As an atheist, I have celebrated Hanukkah and Yom Kippur several times. I have attended mass once. I have gone to various churches with religious friends. I think I look pretty damn cute in hijab (I know that's not exactly the point but it's still true).
I don't have any problem being tolerant of the average religious American. Most of them just follow the fun traditions and don't really observe many of the icky rules. As long a you're not harming anyone with your religion then I couldn't care less what you believe.
To be perfectly honest I always feel a left over urge to flinch and be offended by what I was raised to believe weren't "real Christians", but it's just an automatic reaction. The only people I will not accommodate are Fundies. I will tolerate them to an extent from a distance. They're still people I don't think they intend to be so awful. I will not be close friends with them though. I don't want them around me. Their religion is harmful to other people. Especially people like me.
