Seems like, as with a lot of athiest, they missed the point. Also seems like a lot of stereo typing and attacking. Better to get people to your cause by showing them how great it is. Not attacking what someone else believes in.

The issue with atheism is that it isn't a cause.  It is a lack of belief in something.  There is nothing there, so how does one end up showing people something is superior?  What is the cause of something that is not a belief, but a lack of a belief?  Yes, one can, as a result of this lack of a belief develop other beliefs (like in rationalism, scientism, or secular humanism), but as itself, what is atheism?
