Any time I've come across an atheist who is spouting off, if you disagree with anything they say they come at you with twin barrels of smug "science" backed arguments and won't let up until you agree with them.

You don't see the difference between what you've said? One is coming to your door, the other is engaged in an existing conversation. Totally different circumstances.
This thread is one discussion thread among many, no one requires anyone to read it, so you can easily go away without an argument if you wish.
And even if there was an atheist coming to your door, does that represent all atheists? I've had polite people at my door, and I've had not so polite ones that are aggressive. I've been witnessed to on the streets in highly offensive and aggressive ways. Heck I've done the witnessing on the streets in what was probably taken as an aggressive way back when I did that kind of thing.
Do some Christians picketing a funeral represent all Christians? Of course not.
Taking a big group of people and painting them all with the same brush is just an easy way to feel superior to a group.

So because Christians don't start threads about what interests them then that's the atheist's fault somehow? That doesn't make much sense.
Why pick that? Why not point out the number of political threads vs. the # of Christian threads? Those annoying people interested in politics discussing what interests them...
What exactly is it that you are proposing then? That atheists not be allowed to discuss things that interest them?
