Beards be banned as religious symbols; hipster public servants will be force-shaved, I take it?
Don't make me start to support this ban! (I kid, I like beards. Moustaches, OTOH...)
What I mostly dislike, is the arrogance involved, how most Atheists I met always tend to treat others as if they knew nothing. One isn´t necessarily a Creationist for not bowing to their pre-fabricated opinions, either.
It reminds me a lot of evangelical Christians who believe that people who aren't evangelical Christians have never heard of Jesus.
I always feel like, because I was raised atheist (we celebrated some Jewish cultural traditions, but I was never told that God was a real thing) I'm far less militant about it than atheists who were once religious. I have no zeal to convert anyone to my beliefs, as long as they don't piss me off by trying to convert me. I do get really embarrassed at the New Atheists, who are loudmouths and just as bad as any other fanatics.
