Are "militant" atheists a liability?

Debate Information

I personally believe that atheists that attack and belittle theists and theism are a liability to atheism.
This reinforces the immoral atheist stereotype. If atheists are going to be intolerant and disrespectful to other beliefs, the existing stereotype is going to be confirmed via a confirmation bias. In taking their anger out on theists, they make it worse for their fellow nontheists. 
I'd much rather that atheists not sink to the level of acting idiotic and rude when in arguments. It gives the impression that all atheists are angry and discourages atheist-theist cooperation.

Edit: I think I should clarify that militant theists are a liability to theism too.
