We can all poke fun at religion as it's an easy target for making light of, but I wouldn't say atheists carry any malice in their hearts towards religious people...
I'm atheist myself and quite frankly every atheist I've ever known thinks you can believe what you want to, or indeed choose not to believe anything just like they do, without judgement. They just choose not to share your belief in any higher power.
Don't forget, religious people worship their own higher power, and disbelieve in all the other higher powers from religions they aren't on board with. Atheists simply believe in one less.
If anything, the super-mega-batshit-crazy radical fundamentalists (whom the vast majority of people the world over don't agree with) are more hateful. Google Penn Jillette and compare him with Shirley Phelps-Roper and tell me who is the more hateful person.
Hell, just consider whether it would be more interesting, positive and life-affirming to spend an afternoon with Penn Jillette or the awful Phelps-Roper.
Is my father religionist?

It would be more interesting to be sat next to Penn Jillette without a shadow of a doubt. No contest.
