Very easy to project an ideology onto all its adherents if it's harmed you. I was angry with Christians for a long time.

I know several ex-Muslims who are seriously anti-Muslim coz their community & family have rejected or threatened them.

I see it as similar to when a woman who has experienced abuse from men throughout childhood & into adulthood hates all men.

I can understand the case of people who have been deeply scarred. But an average atheist may not have a reason.

Some ppl are just tribal, aren't they? Secularism is a cause. Religion is a problem. Religious ppl the perpetuators of it.

But atheists are supposed to be rational and sensible people. No atheist worth his name can behave like a bigot.

Atheists are just anyone who disbelieves in gods. Religion really is a problem & it really is perpetuated by religious people.

Its much more like having a problem with conservatives or socialists than having a problem with ppl of certain race or gender.

Ppl are responsible for their values & it is reasonable to judge them on them in a way that it isn't re: race & gender.

I found it very difficult to think well of ppl who believed I would & should go to hell for having different beliefs to them.

But, in fact, most of them don't think about this bit & are drawn to the nice bits abt brotherly love and forgiveness etc.
