Why therefore, do so many atheists still vehemently, or even violently, attack people of religion, any religion, when our worship does not impact your life in any way shape or form? If you don't like a Christian or a Jew or a Sikh praying or practising their faith, stay the hell away from their places of worship. Is it not that simple?

How often do you see atheists hanging around places of worship?
Atheists attacking religious people is relatively common online, true. However, in real life you won’t find them being nearly so vocal. Militant atheists are probably about as common as extremist theists (Westboro Baptist, anyone?).
The difference is atheism doesn’t have the same history of power as religious bodies do – bear in mind entities such as the Church had (and still
have, to an extent) a
lot of influence.
