On forums,arguably,but we are atypical,at least in my country.
Here atheists, the irreverent and indifferent are in the majority. The general public tend to ignore vociferous believers until they become intrusive,especially trying to tell other adults how they should live. Australia is not America,
Oh,off forums,in my daily life,the issue of religion rarely cones up. It's even rarer for me to be even impolite to such people,I usually just walk away. Forums are a different world.
Please do not judge the majority by the way people like me behave on a forum and say on TV. (just as I do not judge the majority of Christians by idiot young earth creationists).

I don't know who that is or why I should care what he says. Atheism is about a lack of belief,there are no implicit rules of behaviour. All I'll say is that in real life I avoid aggressive and hateful people,period.
