You don't have to be atheist to believe that people should be given the freedom to kill themselves if that's what they want. Better that people are given freedom of choice than told what to do by overbearing Christians who think their own views should have anything to do with anyone else's.

And not all atheists mock people for differing views. All it means is that you don't believe in anything out there. Nothing more, nothing less. In every sector of society you always get ignorant pricks, so of course there are intolerant militant atheists, just as there are evangelical religious nuts who think it's their job to save others from eternal damnation.

Think I find religious people who make negative sweeping generalisations about a huge group of people much more offensive and ridiculous than the vast majority of decent people who just happen to not believe in a higher being.
