All I'm saying is that to be atheist, one shouldn't really care what other people believe. Doing so is perpetrating the exact behaviour that most atheists find other religions at fault for.

I don't consider Atheisim a religion though.
I care very much what others believe because the ignorance pushed by most (not all) church groups leads to the hate and small world views that are causing many of the worlds most serious problems. Iraq, Afganistan, Yugoslavia, Chechnya, etc.
When people start caring for people because they are people, not because someone told them to (or not to) or it gets them into heaven or whatever, the world will be a better place IMO.
