"we"?
I notice you've immediately assumed that, because I said I've found atheists to be worse than most when it comes to intolerance of other people's beliefs, that I am, in some way religious? Well I'm not, I'm firmly in the "atheist" camp, I just don't ever feel the need to "educate" others as to why they might be wrong, in my optinion. Which, by the way, you've kinda done yourself in your reply.

In my experience, the pervading attitude of those who choose to believe in one religion or another is "well, that's your choice" when someone says they have a different opinion on the mattter. However, I know many vocal atheists who feel the need to point out that people who disagree with them are wrong at every opportunity, normally by implying that they don't question things, don't think about their beliefs or are somehow anti-fact and anti-science. Talk about your cheap digs...

As for knocking on doors, I don't see any difference between that a chugger knocking on my door - they're both doing something they believe in. They also both get the same answer: a polite "no" and a closed door.
