Considering the fact that Atheists have done the same in Russia, China and even Europe, it isn't a matter of Creationist violence, rather a matter of both sides one day steering head on where the inevitable crash might happen.

For example we have cases where the word "God Bless" was proposed to be banned in schools, or other cases where attempts to ban the use of terms such as 'God' or 'Jesus in funerals (--source--).
Another interesting case is a Pilot's refusal to fly an Atheist banner,
Just read Astyanax's post, that should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
But there is a growing and vocal minority that is simply a mirror image of what they claim to be aginst -- lobbying for rights, trying to effect social change, etc. To my mind that puts people in the same camp with the most politicized fundamentalists.
Ohhh so now i'm working for the PTB, alright CHEQUE PLEASE!
You can't handle the fact that there are free thinking people out there eh? it's got to be part of some conspiracy no?
My agenda is that we realize we're all HUMAN BEINGS. on one planet, and that we're screwing it senseless without remorse because our "God" has given us the right to do so.
I'm not at all saying they are the majority, but the minority is almost always used to stir the majority, that is where the conflict could bloom.

The problem occurs when the leader of their religion makes them believe in the old saying "If you're not with us, you're against us". Instead, I believe that "If you're not with me, then you're somewhere else".
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
If the atheists thinks that 100% for sure there is no Creator/God, that is delusional intellectual dishonesty influenced by emotionality.
