Interesting that "you" talked to the stranger in a way that you knew would be contrary to his beliefs. You seam to have tried to offend him/her and the fact that your first question was "are you an atheist" you obviously cared about nothing else about the person. If you look at it from the view of an atheist going up to you, asking you if you are christian and then said that you are wrong, your reaction might not have been so vulgar but definitely negative. Furthermore, on, probably made up example of a group that is defined through only one attribute is in no way representative of the whole. This is comparable to me stating that because ted bundy was a christian, you are as vile and detestable as he is.
