There seem to be a lot of them these days, but what I find even more interesting is that so many of their ideas get picked up by the media. Routinely I see articles that the link claims is shocking evidence of some nefarious plot by the government to enslave it's citizens. Then you go to it and all it turns out to be is conjecture based on some non-answer that was given. Just because they denied something isn't as crazy as you make it out to be, doesn't make it proof of your bizarre theory.
Government making big ammo purchases doesn't mean they're trying to buy it all up or round up private citizens while confiscating their guns and ammo. The NRA/gun rights lobby turning up the rhetoric does have a weird coincidence of increase private ammo purchase as well.
A small handful of incidents where atheists try to take down religious symbols in public area, is not some concerted plot to remove personal religious liberty. They don't have secret meetings to discuss how to rid the world of Christmas, Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny. I might be more sympathetic though, if you quit telling me how much of a Christian nation it is. How prayer has to be a public spectale for your religion, but only your religion or others you approve of. Not wanting to be ostricized for non belief or belief in a religion you don't agree with, well that might be a bit of a problem. And hey, it's not like all you like minded individuals meet every week to discuss your thoughts on the subject.
"Each party profited by the offices when in power, and when in opposition each party insincerely denounced it's opponents for doing exactly what it itself had done and intended again to do." - Theodore Roosevelt.
