Why would I believe that some theists are rationally justified in believing a theistic God exists? If I could believe something like that, I could probably just believe in God. And why would this be a requirement of "friendliness"? I mean, if you want to define "friendly" in that way, it's fine, but it's confusing, because it has nothing to do with the usual definition of friendliness.
I don't consider theists my "traditional enemies" any more than I consider people who believe in leprechauns my traditional enemies. People who want to inject their brand of theism into our secular government - those may qualify as enemies, I guess.
Atheists being friendly will do nothing to combat the stereotype of atheists being angry, bitter, etc. This is because that stereotype has no basis in reality but comes instead from the imaginations of anti-atheist Christians.
This is a free world. Atheists can simply create their own culture if they want to put some work in and they so choose. They could create the first society anywhere that has atheism as its center.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - one of the great things about atheism is it doesn't demand to be at the center of society. It confuses theists, but it's true. Most people don't believe in leprechauns, but there has been no society that has aleprechaunism as its center. It might not seem like the same thing to you, but
it's the same thing.
A while ago, a group of theists, deists, and atheists "put some work in" and created a country that would officially not be centered around religion, which is something different, and better, than a society centered around atheism. Ever since, theists have been trying to screw it up.
