But these are generally given a pass. It's OK to say nasty things about a group we dislike. If we disagree with someone over a point of metaphysics, there's pretty much no limit on the nastiness with which we can reply.
A small detail, but the most important in this case you keep forgetting. Theists and everybody that get insults et al, are here to fend for themselves. The person you slandered can't do that. Yet, instead of realising your fault in this, you decided to double down with a foolish comparision.
When it comes to insults, as they say, sticks and stones can break my bones, words, never will.
