Replying to a message of Ross Cassell to All:

 RC> There are 2 types of relgionists..

 RC> The ones that bother no one and keep to themselves.

 RC> The radical ones whom get in everyones face and try to convert others.

 RC> Question is, is there such a thing as a radical/rabid atheist?

 RC> Can a person be an atheist, be indifferent towards those whom believe
 RC> and otherwise, letting everyone be as they choose?

 RC> Do other atheists launch into crusades to persecute or otherwise
 RC> demean those of religious belief?

Some do.  Atheists - and agnostics - are usually more concerned with
the encroachment of religion into government.  Religionists, of course,
are upset by the exclusion of religion from government.  Religionists
don't accept the idea that government *must* be absolutely neutral WRT
religion.
