Well, personally, I'm not very quick to insult other people's opinions.
Generally, atheists don't make it a point to wear our atheism on our sleeves
as many theists do; many of my friends don't know I'm an atheist.
On the other hand, if you're going to make irrational assertions, I think
it's my duty to point them out. It's not my fault that some people are
ignorant, and to claim that all opinions are equal would be silly.
