Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

But when the laughter dies down, you're left with a troubling realization: There actually is a huge pool of people on this planet who call themselves atheists and post on the internet, but are less familiar with theism than toddlers with the inside of a quantum mechanics textbook.

Where does one go for actually informed atheistic critiques of religion? I'm feeling my brain atrophy after reading some of the threads here.

Ugh, I've played this fucking game long enough to know what you actually mean, so let me translate:

"You guys are so ignorant! You don't immediately know what my specific religious beliefs are, and you won't presuppose that my specific religious beliefs are the only legitimate ones! What's wrong with you? I'm in too deep to even entertain the idea that differences in belief between myself and other theists even exist! My beliefs are the entirety of theism, and so if you aren't addressing them specifically then you're just wrong! Baaaaah!"
