Atheists need to develop religious “neutrality”. In my experience these people are generally militant D-bags who go after the safe religions but wont say a word against religions that will cut their head off with a rusty spoon.
Explicitly “Atheist” and “Agnostic” societies generally have axes to grind. They aren’t content to not believe, or to doubt, on their own. They think this attitude should be spread.
Trouble is, once they do, they have gone in the ring with evangelists who have just as much right to speak their minds. And in the long term, evangelism usually wins. I say it’s because there really is a God, but also we can see that to preach in favor of a something is more appealing than to preach in favor of a nothing.
The real problem is that we have the greatest offender sitting in the White House.
