To be really blunt, regardless of whether or not the passive claim regarding "atheist nations" is true....I doubt that it would be explicable by reference to whatever "accidents" led to our being what we are - if you absolutely have to douche the conversation up even further, Drew.
Neither atheism nor atheists exist to satisfy your predilections. So you're shit out of luck on just about every count raised. They don't have to claim what you want them to, they don't have to stop reminding you how silly you are for believing in either god or santa, and they don't have to be nice about it. Your opinions on what atheists should claim- or what atheism should be, are a complete non-issue.
Everything clear now?
