I'm confused. Which side is the "Pro Life" side again?

;o)

2. Why do atheists care about what others believe when it doesn't affect atheists?

One issue that seems to have been missed is the issue of tax breaks. Every time a religious organization gets a tax break it means that my portion of the tax burden increases.

This applies twice for every dollar - donors receive income tax breaks on the money given and religious organization don't pay taxes on the money received.

In almost all transactions where services are purchased, the purchaser uses after tax money and the supplier pays tax on their profits.
