I'm not an athiest (more of an spiritual agnostic), but i do understand why atheists don't have a tolerance for anything religious, because i've experienced some (ok, alot) of what gets them all fired up.
In a word,
Ramrodding.
Christians, Evangelicals in specific, love to force their ideals upon others. It's as if they're lifes philophsy is, "my way is the right way". From my experience, theirs is a faith that preach's tolerance, and yet has none. This constant ramrodding and hypocracy gets people at varying degrees of anger. Some people become so angry infact, that they end up doing exactly that which they loath - forcing their ideals upon others. So this see-saw battle of atheists and christans ensues.
