Some do. And as with religious people it's the most strident voices that you really notice. For myself, I try to be more respectful than that. I never refer to people's deity as a "sky fairy" or call them idiots for believing it, etc.
But I'm not going to pretend I think all of that is actually true. For example if someone is in a moral dilemma related to their religion and asks for advice online, unless they specifically ask for Christian answers only, I may well chime in with advice based on my own understanding of the world.
Don't atheists do what they hate religious people doing?
