Who's intolerant?

Geeklawyer is not a place where I would have expected to read a discussion on atheism, albeit brief. The post is by Ruthie about the recent news story that the "Exeter University Student Union has banned the Exeter University Evangelical Christian Union from using guild premises and frozen its bank account on the grounds that the Christian Union discriminates against non-Christians, by requiring people who join to make a declaration of Christian faith". What I like, however, is geeklawyer's comment defending atheists. In an unusually serious mood he says:

Intolerance is virtually always between religions not atheists and theists. Roaming gangs of atheists don't burn down churches. Atheists are invariably tolerant of the existence of religion, if dismissive of its basis.

Your attempt to besmirch atheists speaks, in typical fashion, of the fear & hostility of theists to atheists because they fail to accept the superstitious basis of the theists existence: other religions are, when tolerated at all, tolerated because they do at least accept a god, albeit the wrong one.

Whilst I find it extremely sad that so many human beings choose to live their lives subject to a religious delusion (witness the Hajj), I have no intention of preventing them from doing so provided, of course, that they do not force their delusion upon others, particularly children.
