Whether they were "true" atheists or not is a pitfall we should never fall down. No true Scotsman and all that. Whether they were actual atheists or not is hardly germane to their position now, anyhow.
I also stray away from idioms like "shoving it down our throats." Makes us sound...familiar. Being fair, many among us say the opposite when we are told we have never read the Bible or given their god a chance.
The remarkable thing is that even though they were supposedly atheists, they have an incredible inability to defend their position.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
