At the same time, while these people are disgusted when religious people try to convert them, they go off and do the same damn thing.

It's treating it as 'the SAME damn thing' that causes you to come away with the view you have.
If somebody has a belief that supports the spread of aids or the mutilation of young children or that some power will prevent harm or demand harm or ...
and you want them to give their head a shake about accepting dogma as fact. How is that 'the same thing'?
Skepticism doesn't bring it own set of beliefs, merely that one require some sound basis for claims. Atheism doesn't demand that you believe the top quark does X or that the world is a sphere or that teenagers should drive or that homosexuals should be in the military or ..
It merely claims that you can't pull this stuff out of you azz and then expect to have such views respected by intelligent, informed members of society.
As Dennett has put it, it's the Belief in Belief that needs battling.
