Now even Christians in Europe are under threat: Report claims hundreds of attacks on religious grounds
"According to a report by the Vienna-based Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe in the past year hundreds of attacks have been carried out against Christianity.
The 2013 report was released on Thursday and documents 241 cases of intolerance against Christians.
The voluntary group's report includes details of hate-based attacks on Christians and their institutions, including arson, graffiti and vandalism.
...
The Observatory says that it has amassed the data after scouring local media and being contacted by people who have been directly affected.
Dr. Gudrun Kugler, director of the Observatory, said: 'The increasingly secular society in Europe has less and less space for Christianity.
'Some governments and players of civil society seek to exclude instead of to accommodate.
'Countless cases of intolerance against Christians are reported to us.
'By researching, documenting and publishing these cases we hope to create an awareness which is a first step towards a remedy.'"

It is unclear (to me) from the article that atheists are behind the attacks. That Europe in general has increasingly secular governments appears to be true. That those governments may be more tolerant of (perhaps even encouraging) attacks on Christianity in general and Christians specifically may be true. The connection of the specific attacks on Christians by (specifically) atheists is missing, It seems more plausible (to me) that at least some of the attacks on Christians might have been committed by the growing numbers in European enclaves of members of the "religion of peace."
