I believe jesus was a man, that the bible is a book of stories, and that no god exists but the one that we make for ourselves.

Both opinions can coexist if your religion and my atheism remain personal beliefs we each hold, and neither tries to force their beliefs on others.
And no one in the universe can argue with anything you said. No one in the universe should find offense at it either. Now, I truly believe in the Day of Judgment. Assuming I am correct in my beliefs, then folks in the atheist camp will have some serious issues. Does that mean they are absolutely guaranteed to go to hell? Most likely if you believe what I believe which is main stream R.C., but that does not mean that God will not grant them the Grace neccessary at the last minute so to speak for salvation. Jesus was super clear on the "Judge not lest ye be Judged" position. If I am wrong in my beliefs, and assuming there is no God, then so be it ... we humans live and die like insects, nothing more or less. However, this whole commentary on how Christians are forcing their views on others is total nonsense. Does the average Christian want non-believers to be converted? Absolutely! Why? because it it our duty according to the teachings of Christ, we believe in an afterlife, and we have a firm conviction of the bad things to come for those not Saved. No strong arm tactics either. However, when folks comment in an ignorant fashion or attack the Faith, then I suspect the gloves will come off to some degree, like that or not.
