By what logic should expressions of faith bring an atheist's stuff up?

Great piece on the unappealing attitudes of atheists by Megan Fox at PJ Media.

Her main point is that atheists can't put their finger on what bugs them so much about believers:

When you boil it all down to the basics of the argument over the origins of man, it really means nothing about anything today. Whether you believe the earth is 4 billion years old and all life came from one ancestor, or you believe that God did it in exactly 6 days 6000 years ago, or you think aliens did it — or even if you think that Atlas himself is holding the earth on his shoulders while standing on a giant turtle – life as you know it will go on.

Whatever your beliefs about human origins, you can become the greatest neurosurgeon on earth — because neuroscience doesn’t require belief in a specific version of the historical origins of life on earth. Or you can become the world’s greatest engineer, even if you believe that humans rode around on dinosaurs (because engineering doesn’t require intense belief in Charles freaking Darwin). It is in no way a predictor of how successful you can or will be in your chosen career field.

So why are there entire special interest groups set up to ensure that no American school child ever hears any other theory beside Darwin’s? Why are the atheists demanding my children be taken away from me for “child abuse” because I think Darwin’s evolutionary origins theory stinks? Why are they all screaming that my ideas are “dangerous” (yes, dangerous, they said). Dangerous to whom? Dangerous to what? None of that has been made clear, but what is exceedingly transparent is that the most vocal atheists are seriously angry individuals who cannot abide free thought. At heart they are tyrants desiring to rule us with iron fists.

I don’t claim to know how old the earth is or how life began (although I strongly suspect it was guided by intelligent design), but I’m very certain they don’t know either. Acknowledging that would serve them well.

This is why I'm cool with the theological underpinnings of any political candidate's worldview as long as it basically hews to a general Judeo-Christian thrust.  I was fine, for instance, with Mitt Romney's Mormonism.  (Now, his views on the minimum wage and the climate, not so much.)
