Members of almost any group generally blend in with the "public" behavior of their culture. In the case of atheists we do not seek out Christians to disparage, kittens to bite the heads off, churches to burn, or carry a copy of Marcus Aurelius' work (Meditations) to give us talking points when we start spontaneous street corner meetings. The classic complaint is that atheists fume and sputter at a Xmas carol in a store or a clerk's failure to use the P.C. "Happy Holidays!". This is not the usual case any more than expecting Christians to become apoplectic at the sight of a burkha.

OpinionChristians are in the business of converting the world to their way of thinking. They are under the mistaken notion that all good moral behavior comes from religious laws and beliefs and that theirs are the best. Atheists are anathema in this process since they choose to not adhere to any religious beliefs. It should be noted that not all Christians harass atheists but many sects preach against atheism from their pulpits and often paint a picture of atheists that doesn't mirror reality.
Every atheist is an individual, the only common thread is no belief in a god or gods.
