Are Atheists a little too defensive?

'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken
'False religion' is the ultimate tautology. 'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain 'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
There are many religious websites both christian and muslim that demand that atheists be put to death.
I posted a link to one a while back. With that sort of attitude why are you surprised that we are a "bit" defensive? If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
Atheists are defensive when their views or not liked by others.
I have a Christian friend who is CRAZY offensive with his views. He attacks anyone who sees things differently than he does.
I am an Atheist and I never attack peoples views. If someone tries to attack my views, which my friend tries to do quite often, I am more than glad to attempt to defend myself. Lol.
I only "attack" the views of others in debate, or if they happen to say something so utterly moronic it merits immediate correction. I also have an inclination for correction in general. Mostly self-correction as I've learned to let the subtle mistakes of others slide. I can be hard to follow because of the self-correction impulse though. I'll be in the middle of a long-winded tangent, realize a mistake I made relating to it's beginning, jump back to that mistake and correct it, then jump back again to where I'd interrupted myself.
Oh how I'd tear myself a new one if I were religious...

Atheists aren't all to defensive. we are our own individual selves (like in any religion). although it may seem like we are mainly because of all of the harassment atheist get online and occasionally in real life. anyone with any pride would defend their beliefs if they were being harassed because of them.

Defensiveness is irrelevant to atheism. Atheism is disbelieving in gods.
Some atheists are defensive. Some theists are defensive.
