I don't believe atheists in general push anything until something is pushed at them.(of course there are exceptions) Most Atheists do not give religion a second thought until it starts to invade aspects that will affect there everyday life...Id hardly call that dogma...more a case of kicking an ants nest and being surprised things come out and bite.

Plenty of atheists trying to push/enforce their beliefs:
Just last year in Victoria legislation was almost passed to stop religious organizations or schools from employing people on the basis of their beliefs. Kind of pointless having a church or christian school run by athiests.
Richard Dawkins has been preaching atheism/banning religion for a long time.
Many Communist countries in the past have banned religion.
According to Wetwide we should all be locked up.

I think the above would make being invited to an Alpha course seem a little tame.
It seems a tipsy topsy world where atheists have become the fundamentalist evangelists.
