Answer :

Some atheist (like fundamentalist Christians) believe in letting EVERYONE know about their beliefs. They have bumper stickers, talk about it, go to conventions, and bash what they don’t believe in. Atheists, by definition, believe in no god. This doesn’t mean that they are (or should be) apathetic. They are vocal about their belief in a lack of god.
