I know some atheists that are very aggressive about not believing in God and will openly talk down to people who do believe and mock them. Sometimes it borders on bullying, which is when it becomes a disgusting and hypocritical attitude, and even when it doesn't it's still ignorant. I can understand not liking them; I don't like them either. There are religious people who act that way too, and I dislike them just as much.
Because atheists are a minority in most places, a lot of atheists make it a very big part of their identity. Those atheists who are aggressive about it are, in my experience, those who have been brought up in highly-religious households and therefore have a very negative image of religious people. I'm not defending them - in fact I strongly dislike them - but I can understand their attitude.
Just make sure you don't tar all atheists with the same brush, because in my experience most of us aren't like that.
Yet the OPs lucky to have asked it here. If he asked it in Yahoo Answers Religion and Spirituality section (which actually is a virtual war zone) he would have had a fit seeing the hate comments and their bulling guerrilla tactics!!!!
Is it normal to dislike atheists?

I feel sorry for the OP. I can just imagine...
"Oh, I think I'll check IIN. Wow, my question has 14 new comments! I can't wait to read what interesting, thoughtful things people had to say!"
Only to find that they're all suckonthisfucking9 vomiting spam everywhere.
