I would think that higher levels of overt religious antagonism indicate low agreeableness. It may be an indicator not so much of irrationality as of a sort of intellectual laziness or poor judgement, as it's an unconstructive behaviour that generates a great deal of self-satisfaction for not doing anything particularly difficult.

That said, I was rather closer to that kind of atheism when I was younger, so I'm decidedly biased.

I think I have a similar point of view to yours, on this.
