Atheism is fine by me, as I believe in the live-and-let-live creed. It's the loud, antagonistic atheists, the ones who openly mock people of faith every chance they get that bug me. In this way, they are exactly the disease they claim to want to rid the world of. Just another tribal conflict we don't need.

And you can substitute the above for Christian, Muslim, or anything else.

If you don't go about your day and politely allow others to live their lives, you're the problem, as far as I'm concerned.

Well... we've seen Christians protesting the funerals of gay soldiers... Muslims decapitating teachers for showing an image of a pedophilic alleged prophet... Christians bombing abortion clinics... Catholics discouraging condom use and increasing the spread of aids in Africa... Jewish settlers continuing to exacerbate issues in the middle east... muslims using gang rape as a form of punishment... the Catholic shuffling known pedophiles around the country to enable them to continue their child abuse unimpeded, and so on so forth.

So, while I have found that generally atheists are far appropriate when spreading their beliefs (never had atheists come to my door or try to convert me on a train or on the street while that's happened many times with religious folks) even if they are loud and mocking I still don't think they're the problem. 

Do you know how many atheists have been serial/mass murderers throughout the 19th-21st century? The numbers are staggering. Yet, I doubt you would claim it was fair for people of faith to go out and attack every atheist they see because of this. And with good reason: it's not fair. So too, is it unfair to do the same to people of faith when one of theirs looses their mind and blows up an abortion clinic. They clearly were sick in the head and weren't practicing what they preach.

People just need to leave each other alone. Both sides.
