You know what? Religionists have been trying to put atheists to death for so long that I really don't give a rip if they feel their religion is being mocked. They certainly have never considered my feelings when they get up in their pulpits and condemn me to infinite hell. So scr*w 'em.
I personally prefer to stay out of the fray. And as people have pointed out, those pushing to eliminate God entirely are also responsible for much evil and murder (Stalinist Russia, Red China... Virtually all Communist "Anti-God" Totalitarian States). I hold the evil men and women responsible for atrocities in this world, not religion or lack of it themselves. Ultimately, religion that is co-opted for the purposes of evil is quite often done so by non-believers themselves. They just find it a convenient tool to manipulate ignorant masses. Perhaps this, and the extreme fundamentalists is what you are reacting against. If so, great. Just be careful not to become an extremist yourself "on the other side."
