Do you consider yourself an Athiest?

I'm one of them-thar atheist, and I have to say guys like this one tick me off. A buddy of mine thinks there are 2 kinds of lesbians: women that love other women, and women that just hate men, think they're evil, and are usually motivated by pain or anger (or both) at someone from their past.
I don't know how accurate his theory is, but it seems the same applies to atheist: there are some that simply don't believe in any dieties or higher powers, and some that seem to hate religion and want to destroy it where ever they find it. This guy's chief problem with religion seems to be that his kid's mother practices one, period. Why else worry about something that doesn't exists?
I could care less if my kids prayed all day, any more than I'd worry about them writing Santa. I don't believe in either, and don't see belief in them as some insidious curse on humanity. Our society was developed using Christian morals as a guide, and I think it helps kids understand where our forefathers were coming from, as well as why they (and we) screw some things up and freak out over certain things (Janet's nipple, for instance). Heck, going to church and Sunday school every Sunday until I was 17 didn't hurt me a bit. In fact, it fired my interests in other religions and philosphies.
