This should give you an idea on why atheists care about religion in general: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w4fqa9mt-mg...
To summarize it, we care because theists have proven time and time again that they are incapable of keeping their faith to themselves, instead trying to impose it on everyone else, atheists included. Many atheists are also justified in saying something like "you started it by calling us sinners and condemning us to eternal punishment and suffering just for not having the same beliefs as you."
You show me a Chrstian or any other theist who keeps his or her faith personal (as faith is supposed to be), and I'll show you a person I (an atheist) have no beef with. I may think their beliefs are ridiculous, but that is my right. I'm sure every Christian here thinks Scientology is ridiculous.
One more point--I don't think religion should be given a 'free pass' when it comes to criticism. Unlike race or hair color, religion is, in the end, a conscious decision. To fault someone for this decision (if you think they've made a bad decision) is NOT comparable to faulting someone for their race, gender, age, or anything like that.
If someone came up to you and told you that they were absolutely sure that aliens teamed up with ghosts to cause 9/11, you'd think they were a fool, I'm sure. But theism has no logical foundation either, hence the term "faith." Please do not forget why it is called "faith." A theist has every reason to EXPECT criticism the moment they start pretending that their faITH is faCT. If someone tries to act like their faith is factual, then people will start demanding evidence, because those are the rules of the game, after all. Things just don't spontaneously become facts--they have to be supported with evidence.
P.S. Less mature theists will claim that if atheists frequent some spot on the Internet about religion, then it's because they're secretly questioning their atheism etc., but if atheists mostly _avoid_ that same spot, it's because they claim atheists are afraid/unable to challenge a theist's arguments. They've got something bad to say no matter what we do--wouldn't you agree that's unfair?

Some of us like to keep an open mind and intelligently debate the existance of God. With you, however, intelligent debate is not possible because you can't use English properly.
I see 4 mistakes in your short question.

i 'm not going into the r&s section...never been there. these r&s questions are also in the general questions. i hope you're not claiming to be a person "whom" knows proper english, cuz you "doesn't."
right on XD, well stated.

Your must be in the latter.
Two is a numeric expression, to is not.
Incorrect use of whom, apostrophe in the wrong place do'nt.
Did you know, a sentence starts with a capital letter?

Why are you making a statement about proper English with the word "do'nt"? That makes no sense!

That sounds like an old computer engineer's joke...
There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Edit: Apparently that joke is now so old ,computer users don't even know what binary is anymore. Oh, NO! I've become... ...OBSOLETE!!!!!!
