Yes, I believe you do think that. Just as a creationist only views the world from one side. This polarity denies the possibility of middle ground and thus becomes conflict. Many atheists are not merely atheists, but also actively anti-theists. You are not content to allow others equal treatment in discourse because you adamantly believe you are right and they are wrong.

Science cannot help us with the ethical application of science, as in the chemical application of mustard gas in WWI. Or, the proper use of nuclear weapons in WWII. Science, as proposed by Popper, is a narrow part of our philosophy. But, a very useful one in finding truth through experiments and observing the results. It does little for us in for example the aforementioned ethical decisions, or in subjective judgment in aesthetics. You can choose to deny the metaphysical, but it is an unprovable position. I claim all the body of philosophy, including that which through the pursuit of truth requires belief without proof.
In most countries in the world atheist are (heavily) discriminated against.
I am fine with people believing in God but I am not fine with my government subsidizing religious elementary and high schools. (for example)
Everybody should be treated the same, but sadly atheists are discriminated almost everywhere, christians are discriminated in Muslim countries and muslims are discriminated in Christian countries.
Religious people usually do the discrimination....not the atheists.

Even though I am right (because God does not exist) how would I discriminate people based on that? If you want to pray, you don't hurt me so I don't care.

I really would prefer more people becoming atheists so that they can start helping saving the world. Loose there emphasis on weaponry (which for some reason religious people often have). Behave not as earth was Gods gift and so you could do anything you want with it......after you earthly life you will have your eternal life anyway......
So yes I would always try to change people's mind and letting them stop being religious but that only means equal treatment for everyone.
Atheism doesn't have a certain set of rules that can be used for unequal treatment.

I like that statement.
