It’s interesting that the most derogatory epithet for atheism he could come up with is to falsely accuse it of having some of the attributes of Christianity.

Well, none of the premises are true, but at least the conclusion is a non sequitur. I dare you to come up with a worse argument.

Nope atheism is merely a lack of belief in the theist claims it makes no claims in itself. It's not a philosophy as there is no unifying principles or beliefs that are exclusive to it and no principles of any group or person you can exclusively point to that are a result in said lack of belief. So pointing to the Soviets or individual non believing figures to try invent such a thing is an act of futility.

That is true, however, and this is important, we aren't them.
