They bother me equally...
Even though I tend to agree more with the anti-religious crowd... they can still get a little crazy and need to be reeled in...
I don't like religious fundamentalists trying to interfere with MY rights any more than the next guy but I draw the line at interfering with THEIR right to worship as they choose.

Not as much, but mostly because they aren't so bull headed. They seem to be willing to listen to both sides. Not that all religious "bellyachers" are close minded, but the ones in my area are.

Yes.
Pushing no religion is just as bad as pushing a religion. Either way, just step off.
I think the atheists and agnostics are just a little more annoying, because they are more stuck-up and persistent in their beliefs. Most religious people will eventually just walk away and say "Oh ok, well you're going to hell anyway, Christ be with you!" But an atheist will keep arguing with you, because they feel like they have "science" on their side.

While holy rollers can be obnoxious, anti religious "bellyachers" are worse.
In this day and age we need more morals, not less.
They claim that the use of God's name and religious icons violate their freedom of religion, while the removal of that use violates mine.
This country was founded on God, and people need to remember it.
I'm no holy roller, but I understand the importance of faith.

Sometimes.
I object to any mocking and browbeating of others because they don't share your thought pattern.
I do agree with atheists on the fact that more carnage has been committed in the name of "religion" than for any other reason in human history.
EDIT:
don't be a retard: Therein lies the root of the problem;
like a lot of other people, you won't divide morality from religion.
What is the objection to removing religion from the equation here to find code of conduct acceptable to everyone?
And that's not an atheist stance, it's common sense.

Anti-religious bellyachers have never bothered me… they’ve never tried to change my mind, nor have they ever woken me out of a sound sleep to hand me a pamphlet on Saturday mornings.

No--though I'll agree they are both obnoxious. But the anti-religion crowd isn't dangerous. The religious right, by contrast, still has a good deal of power--and an avowed agenda of subverting the Constitution and turning the US into a religious dictatorship. They are still very dangerous.

No. Because a lot of the anti-religious bellyachers don't know what they are talking about most of the time. Religous holy rollers only bother me when they distort the message to fit their agenda.

anti-religious 'bellyacher' do not bomb innocent people, lynch people, fly planes into buildings, demand that everyone believe as they do, or wipe out entire races that's the 'holy rollers' job.

no. I've found the anti- or non-religious to be more tolerant of others' views, even if they don't agree with them.
The religious holy rollers just tend to babble on about why your life is so bad, since you don't believe in God, and why you're supposedly going to hell when you die.
I admit there is the occasional extremist on either side, but I've found more of them on the religious end of the spectrum.
