Every Atheist I have ever met has acted as if Atheism is, itself, a religion. I have met some very fundamentalist Christians and none of them have been as fanatical about defending their Christianity as the Athiests I have met are about their Atheism. Every Atheist I have met is under the belief that there is a conspiracy among all of the world's religions to take their rights away. Not a single fundamentalist-believing the Earth to be 5,000 years old-Christian has ever expressed a similar fear to me.

I don't get why Atheists tend to have such a chip on their shoulders. Believe whatever you want to believe. Nobody cares.
