How do you propose to impose those principle on groups to which you don't belong? You're certainly free to join the group you consider the most despicable and try to change it from within. That's far more likely to have an impact than complaining to random atheists about it.
If I may explain the post you quoted, it was a follow up after someone asked about instances of bad behavior I witnessed. It was not the purpose of the starting this thread.
There's always too much advice available.

It means atheist groups have just as much right to be wrong as anyone else does, and the only thing we can do to counter it is exercise our own freedom to express our convictions.Same as above. This is not in the context of my original question. I would desist from answering to these to further add to the confusion.

Are you talking about terrorism? Really?
