Are we atheists just as bad as religious people?

I don't think we atheists are as bad as fundamentalists although as in everywhere else there are a few exceptions.When I am asked by a Christian about Christ I tell them right from the start that I am an atheist and am not interested,some walk away and some challenge me.I feel that the same way they have the right to defend their beliefs I have the right to defend my unbelief.I am anti-religions of any and all kinds and patriotism.I am American but even in public places I don't stand up for the national anthem nor do I recite the pledge of allegiance to the american flag.I was a vet and I have seen the dirty side of government up close so I think I have earned the right to be non patriotic.Although,I feel horrible about all our vets though that have fallen prey to the american bullshit stories and are deployed out to Iraq,Afghanistan etc. to defend a lie.
I don't love my country I love my family and my life that is all.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition

Like fucking Deathknights! That is what I think when I see OP. Ok, my Arcane specced Mage was pretty OP for a while then he was nerfed.

LOL ^_^ Dude... DK = always PWNED by well played surv hunter... at least one with Res
 In fact... just about everything about survival hunter functions that way: play it well, win almost every time... play it poorly: lose almost every time. (They are a lot like Sub rogues that way...) ES needs a nerf though... it makes up 66% of my damage in PvE!  Saerules <----geek

Whenever I do this, sometimes I get the response that I am just as bad as religious people for trying to push my views. I do not have an argument for that. ... I wonder what your points of view are on this, and whether or not you have perhaps encountered the same problem. It's called the Cage Stage, that period after conversion when the person should be locked in a 'cage' until his passion has settled down and he's had time to let his convictions marinate. It doesn't matter what he has converted from or to, whether Christianity to atheism or vice-versa. It can even happen within a particular belief system—a Christian who converts from Roman Catholic theology to Reformed Protestant theology, for example, can be on fire about his new-found views. At any rate, some of the most annoying atheists in my experience were recent converts to atheism, underscoring the necessity of a Cage Stage. (It also seems that the more 'fundy' the religious belief they left behind the more fiery their atheistic convictions.)
