While I agree with you, logically, it is not always the case that ALL atheists are just being trendy.The Soviet Union's goal was to destroy religion and replace it with worship of the state; atheists today such as Dawkins and co are doing the same thing.Why is it so many know nothing about Marx or Marxism and yet use it as a stick for their off the wall assumptions? And trendy? By whose account? Criticism of religion is not hatred. Anyone who drives in America and takes notice of the landscape surely realizes the importance of religions given the number of holy places. Instead of thanks and funny we need a grade sign, the OP gets an F.

I have an anarcho-capitalist friend that thinks Christians are the bees knees. I too think folks that worships are the best.
The spirit binds humanity together.
Molyneux believes that atheists, being overwhelmingly leftists (according to pew 56% self identify as liberal), impose their moral judgments on him in the form of taxes. To ascribe his problem to atheism seems absurd on the face of it. Congress maintains the authority to tax and the makeup of congress is and has always been overwhelmingly theist. It's a silly argument.

7 facts about atheists
Modern atheism seems to be heavily influenced by Marxism as well as utopian socialists such as John Stuart Mill.
If people have something to rely on for purpose and meaning of life other than material convenience appropriated by the state then it's harder for the state to control them.
If they remove God and look to "science" or "economic progress" to save them then the state owns them lock stock and barrell.
