Atheists are still part of an imperfect reality and we cannot think ourselves that because we are on the right side of education and science, that we are always going to automatically be moral ourselves.
From my perspective, very few are doing this. I'm not a missionary going around to tell everyone about how great it would be to have no religion at all. In fact, my frm believe is, that once religion is gone, it would only be replaced by some other ideologies for people to rally behind. So I'm not for fighting religion to the death in hopes of creating a better world.
What I stand for is for religion to keep out of public life. A secular world where everyone should be free to live according to their own values without trying to shove them down everyone else's throats.
