Yes. Another way to look at it is their 'religion' is based on hatred of other religions especially Christians.
Atheism is not based on hatred of other religions especially Christians. That some may feel that way doesn't change that fact.
It's kind of silly to use the extreme to paint the middle.
You know, the TRUE athiests I have met have no problem with Christianity, they just don't belive in God themselves. The ones I have met seemed to be nice, good people, no more likely to be offended by religion than you or I.
However, the other group of so-called athiests (naturally, the loud group) are simply what you say, Christian-haters. I really believe these people have a paranoid delusion. I also think they are small, weak-minded, pseudo-intellectuals who are nothing more than jealous of a Christian's faith, love and fellowship with God.
