It's nearly the same thing to me. It's lowering yourself to the exact same behaviour atheism hates in religion, so we're no better if we let it slide and pretend radical atheism doesn't exist.
There's no reason to let it slide, if this was an atheism-motivated crime. You can be an anti-theist without being anti-theists; being against religion doesn't mean being against the adherents. It's the beliefs that are objectionable, not the people holding them.
