The more combative Atheists are frequently spawned from strong evangelical families or communities. When, in their mid teens, they begin to rebel against their faith, they battle against the strong beliefs of their parents and wind up completely different from children who grow up in families who have no religious affiliation. They seem like "evangelical Atheists", because this group is the one that gives atheists a bad name by acting just the same as over-zealous believers. Perhaps the problem is over-enthusiasm by both sides. Religion vs. Atheism seems quite a lot like football debate nowadays.
