Not even most of them are. Most atheists, like most people in general, don't get all up in your face all the time about their spiritual beliefs. And that tendency to be all up in your face is a human thing, not an atheist one (because people of all religions and political persuasions do it, if they're that kind of person).

Generally speaking, "Are you an atheist?" is not something that comes up in conversation all that much for most people, and, quite rightly, a lot of people feel that one's spiritual perceptions are nobody else's business, anyway.
You really can't decide what "most" atheists are like based on a few very outspoken, world-famous writers who made money by being antagonistic.
And for the record, I am NOT an atheist, so I'm not arguing about that. For me, it's more about making big assumptions based on insufficient understanding. It's like judging all California women based on your knowledge of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
