Tu quoque/appeal to hypocrisy is a common logical fallacy.
Not sure know what YOU mean by 'your ilk'. Atheists are not an ilk,being only people who disbelieve in gods.
If I were to use the term 'ilk' referring to you, I would mean a politically and socially conservative person who may or may not also be a young earth creationist loon.

Quote:Tu quoque (play /tuːˈkwoʊkwiː/),[1] (Latin for "you, too" or "you, also") or the appeal to hypocrisy, is a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position; it attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. This dismisses someone's point of view based on criticism of the person's inconsistency, and not the position presented.[2] Thus, it is a form of the ad hominem argument.[3]

You fabricated a false argument to create a 'cry victim role' illusion. It's a practice that's commonly used by you crybabies on the Left....
Quote:A straw man is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
