I think it's pretty good, but forgive me for being pessimistic in thinking that it won't change many minds or that we won't see those same tactics being used again and again.

If I had to add anything, it would be specifically to Christians about using threats of hell. I know you touched on it, but I think going more in-depth about how atheists don't believe in any such place, so using threats of being sent there are totally ineffective. It's a subject for which I am writing an article about, but have not finished as yet.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
