They have the exact same tribal-mentality.

your question, which is not really a question but an attempt to create a stereotype, doesn't even make any sense....
over-controlling...tribal mentality...
are you just trying to get us all some extra points?

I agree with you!
I have an explanation,
do a yahoo search on "spiral dynamics",
this is something I've discussed with other Atheists, the idea that some Atheists are "tribal" and just as susceptible to "religion" as religious, and they are in fact, religious themselves and not free at all from that prison.

Unfortunately, it seems to be a popular but negative quality of human nature to be judgmental and preachy. It is not confined to Christians, atheists, or any other group. Some people have this quality, while others do not. Those that do will always have some kind of cause to shove down other's throats, and always believe they are justified for doing so.

Because they both cling on to something for which they have no proof.
"The more I shout, the more aggressively I shout, and the more people agree with me, the more likely am I to be right." - Typical behaviour of people riddled with fear, insecurity, and frustration.
There is a third option. No-one needs to scream about the Truth. It simply is. Read Rational Spirituality.

Because they're under so much pressure from their conscience that they feel like Christians are yelling at them, getting into their head when in reality it's the things Christians are saying that their conscience agrees that creates an internal conflict with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life that is still the controlling part of them, for those of them that aren't hardened against their conscience.

Because if person is dogmatic, opinionated, and judgmental, they will be that way no matter what their religious beliefs are (atheists, fundamentalists, etc.).

You seem to be obsessed with what we think and do. I reckon you have a secret desire to become an atheist really.
Cheer up a bit and get yourself sorted man, and put a smile on your face, even if it is only false.

Overcontrolling?....Uh...okay then. All you have to do is talk to my fiance and you'll see that I'm the most submissive, sweet person you'll ever meet who hates conflict and would rather everyone just be happy.

Why are you being so prejudice towards other people? What happened, did you lose an argument to an atheist about religion?
