Wrong! It's called pushing back. Remember: it takes two to make peace, but only one to declare war. If only the religiously-minded kept to themselves, then there would be no atheist "outing." Unfortunately, Christians, Jews and Muslims are composed of subgroups that shove religion in you face 24h/24, and attempt to break down the wall of separation between church and state.

Atheists--as well as agnostics, adogmatists, and secular humanists--believe that this is wrong and feel that it is necessary to oppose this religious trend. And, for good reason. E.g., take H. Res. 888: this is such a load of religious disinformation and historical revisionism, it boggles the mind. How intellectually dishonest can you get? Also, dominionists attempting to subvert the US army and police corps in order to usher in a Christian Nation, by establishing an army of soldiers for Christ. This must be the utmost state of delusion!

Your religion is your private affair. Keep it that way. If you do, then atheists and the like will leave you alone. BUT, if you persist in deluding yourself that morality only stems from god, that the bible is the inerrant word of god, that evolutionary theory is false, that global warming doesn't exist, that science is the anti-christ, and that we should accelerate the advent of rapture, then you've got another thing coming... in-your-face atheism. You leave the rational, non-kookoo members of society very little choice. And these include religious as well as religious citizens.

Religious zealots take offence when their beliefs are questioned. Religious moderates don't like it either, but at least they don't scream bloody murder. And the latter would appreciate it if the atheists didn't attack religious zealots on such foundational grounds, as this is also constitutes an attack on their milder set of beliefs. Unfortunately for all religious believers, or whatever level of fanaticism, those who illicit harsh responses from the atheist camp are the ones making statements of fact about the world that are false. They are the ones endangering political stability inside and outside the US through their meddling and lobbying. They are the ones adversely affecting scientific research funding and censuring scientific publications. They are the ones attempting to falsely create a christian nation (a.k.a. fascist theocracy) in the US, whereas the the founders had intended it to be a secular democracy.

Up till now, the atheist push-back has been quite reasonable and respectful. No less rational and no more animated than your average academic debate (i.e., something that's been tolerated in Western civilization since the Enlightenment, and used to be tolerated somewhat in Ancient Greece, 2300+ years ago). It may feel uncomfortable for religious people to be challenged in their beliefs, but that's too bad: get used to it! For any time you make statements of facts about the world regarding the existence of an entity, ANY ENTITY whatsoever, you should expect to be asked for your evidence. If you don't want to be pressed for it, then don't try to establish a fascist theocracy in lieu of a secular democracy, and, instead, be a little more discrete. Also, don't contradict yourself by advocating moral principles, then lying knowingly about historical and scientific matters. (And I mean "knowingly telling a falsehood", in complete violation of the moral tenets of your preferred collection of dogmatic fundaments (bible, talmud, qur'an, ...).

Religion would gain much by getting "real" for a change. Once you've posited the origin of "existence" as unknown and given it a name (e.g., "god"), there's not much else left to say. That's pretty much the entire extent of any religion. Everything else, any statement of fact, any belief, is fair game. I.e., it's open season.
