That's interesting, although I personally can't say I ever had the impression that atheists were "crabby misanthropes" anyway. But I can kind of imagine that stereotype existing (not sure why, maybe because I just read that it exists, haha...I better stay away from sinister hypnotists).

I think the only part I took exception to, personally, was about the "undecided" not being as upbeat. I know it just meant "in general", of course. But I actually find that, even with some of the frustration not having a belief/non-belief can bring about, that my mood is better when I'm more undecided and inquistive, as opposed to when I lean towards more atheistic thought.
