Why do theists think all atheists are anti religion?

I know that I am. I won't try to say I'm just an atheist. I openly admit I am anti-religion. That said, many atheists are just atheists. They quietly go through life, knowing there is no god. Then I start a thread, admittedly to rustle some theistic jimmies, and they just post that they too are atheists, and they state why. Suddenly the religious folks jump on them the way a dog jumps on a meaty bone. Why? Why can't an atheist respectfully state what they are and why? If we have to respectfully listen to why you have a relationship with Jesus or Mohammed, or Vishnu, then why can't we state that we have a deep relationship with science? Furthermore, why can't atheists evangelize? If theists can ride around on mission and ask people if they've found Jesus, why can't an atheist talk to someone about science, and how the old theistic notions of how our world work are being cast aside for the concrete theories that predict so much? Discuss respectful atheism, and why theists won't allow it.

    Teh puma has come to a rather odd conclusion. Hardly anyone in this thread has ever met an atheist, or anti-theist in real life. Apart from the more famous people, they are describing entirely "backwards" atheists. Teh puma has never met an atheist in real life that promotes their atheism religiously, he has never met a preachy anti-theist either. It seems that many people on this website take what they see from arguments on this forum and youtube, then they try and apply that to all, or at least a somewhat large group of atheists. Either once again Virginia is defying what this forum truly considers as a social norm, or some of these people are just posting bs... teh puma is inclined to believe it's the second option.
