Yes, they inhabit this echo.

I personally know atheists who are not in-your-face like the
self-proclaimed atheists here in FIDO.

Very few are on a crusade like those here in FIDO. There are some who have
blogs and websites on the internet who are a bit in-your-face, but it's
easy to block those sites so you don't have to read them.
