I have yet to see Christians bashing other faiths, such as atheists, attacking them in media and basically persecuting them.
I need to point out that "Athiests" are NOT a Faith, a group yes, along with Hetrosexuals/Homosexuals, Men/Women, White people/Brown people. Athiests do not fit into the same group as, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, they very specifically no not believe in supernatural beings that care what they eat, who they sleep with, who to kill, and enslave, they have no book proclaiming any of that at all.
ATHIESM IS NOT A RELIGION, but as you have seeming said that Christians dont bash other "groups" I will happily work with that.
You have got to be kidding (not to be confused with kidfidling), most Athiests are also secularists and humanists, they also usually believe in free speech, and freedom FROM religion and its persecution of various groups of people, such as women (half of the population) homosexuals, and anyone who wants to leave the religion they were forced into as a child (Apostate).
Add to that the simply fact that religions usually get away without paying taxes, are blatantly above the law when it comes to child rape (they are actually allowed to deal with it internally). And they like to tell everyone that they are better, because some ancient bit of text says that they are.
Additionally they have a massive voice that is far louder than it should be in politics, even in secular (the USA) and almost secular countries (the UK), and they usually screw with science, which religion has sod all to do with and often denies even exists.
Take for example one of the Pope's chums who said that the UK was like a Third World Country (probably because most people are not religious, and there are a lot of non-white faces in London.
Then think about the Pope comparing Athiests to Hitler (who was a Catholic, watch the youtube video below for more details on that point).

Then consider the simple point that the Catholic church hates homosexuals (even though they have a number in their ranks), and says that they will go to hell even if they are perfectly "Catholic" in every other way.
The Catholic church wont allow women in the church, blatantly sexist.
Ditto a couple of the above for Muslims as well, but add to that silly (sometimes funny) pictures of a long dead child molestor that no Muslim is allowed to depict (note the word Muslim, an non-muslim has no such overbearing religious rule that says that they cant), which brings me directly to the next point.
Many religious people become "offended" at the drop of a hat. They are twats, they have "chosen" to become offended, and they always use their standard bullshit excuse "you have offended my beliefs", well "go fuck yourself" is what I say to that, you offend my "beliefs" constantly, and I only whine because I am sick and tired of religious people whining constantly and about everything.
