Can atheists be trusted?

An atheist is suing the U.S. Army because he was allegedly harassed by other soldiers for his beliefs (or lack thereof). Now if this did happen I would say that it was wrong and that something needs to be done about it.

However, I always question the voracity of allegations such as this when made by atheists and agnostics. For the the last century or so nonbelievers have made it their mission in life to generally be a thorn in the side of believers and do everything in their power to tear down Christianity.

Notice I didn't say religion since it seems that they really only attack Christians. They claim to believe in religious freedom or freedom from religion but they don't practice what they preach, no pun intended. For people who claim not to believe in any higher power they sure do protest a lot. If there is no God and we all cease to exist when we die then it seems to me that they are wasting an awful lot of time fighting a "nonexistent" foe.

And why do they seem to direct most if not all of their animus toward Christians. Not Jews, Muslims, Buddhists or Scientologists. Just Christians. Something to think about.
