Lickyfingerbum;Well don't atheists try and force their opinion on theists equally as much.
An opinion is one thing, every one is allowed to have opinions. But just because someone is of the opinion that god hates gays that does not give them the right to try and pass laws that ban gays.

And I think a theist does not necessary have to be a Christian, Muslim or Jew.

Well according to a dictionary definition of theism.
belief in the existence of a god or gods
Then yes a theist does by definition have to be a Christian, Muslim or Jew. Providing of course you mean jew as in spiritual sense not ethnic origin.

Is it not true that while an atheist my be motivated to stand up against organized religions, which traditionally in the view of many ( and in reality) have abused their position to force socially constructed beliefs upon others , they attack venomously all beliefs in god without regard?

Venomously? Because I disagree with your position then it is automatically seen as being spiteful or malignant?
How about atheists ask for good reasoning to support the position of all beliefs. Then quite easily point out the complete lack of reason given for supporting all beliefs.
