WTF???

[chasm]

Why do atheists choose so vehemently to impinge upon the 1st Amendment rights of the religious people in this country?

We don't. They are impinging on our rights of freedom of religion. The pledge, our currency, public prayer, etc. is all promoting Christianity over all other religions, which is NOT what the Founding Fathers wanted.

If atheists are not trying to impose their beliefs upon others, why can't you just leave it alone? I guess that was the point of my original question.

The Founding Fathers believed in a Creator. America was founded on the desire for freedom of religion, not from it.

Proof? Because I'm pretty sure that the Declaration of Independence (y'know, just the founding document of our country), doesn't mention any "Creator", and the mention of religion (in article 7, I believe) is to SEPARATE the church from the state... P.S. Our Founding Father's were deists, and some of them were atheists.

BTW, it has been said that the only difference between a deist and an atheist is 3 letters.

That's true to an extent, I suppose. You can change three letters and turn deist into atheist, but they mean different things. One involves a supreme being creating the universe and one doesn't.
