When you start to believe that people who do believe in something are wrong or different....and if history shows us anything, eventually atheists will.
To put this in context. If Person A believed in 3 gods and Person B in 2 gods, would Person B be necessarily less likely to act irrationally or violently to person A than vice versa. Both people believe they are right, and who cares about the specifics of their beliefs. It has more to do with the human condition and the way we naturally deal with people with different beliefs.
