You are strawmanning lots of atheism, just like you did with your post before that.
Its also an non-answer with regards to the OP telling he is intolerant to shitty claims.
Sceptics arrive at atheism, that doesnt mean all atheists are sceptics. Hence you will find a lot of atheists that cling to atheism like a religion. That doesnt make atheism a religion. The definition is what it is.
