That is an unfair statement to ever make. No one on this forum actually claims to represent atheists, and even if they did so, it would not be valid until a significant body of atheists verify that claim.
That said, it is a form of poisoning the well. Just because some atheist is patently offensive does not ruin what others have to say. Argue that it is simply the way people work, then I have a surprise for you - People are NOT LOGICAL. If they were, one could be offensive and be regarded as offensive with no judgement passed to one's peers.
Because you are legitimizing that train of thought for guilt by association with no other context to suggest otherwise, kindly fuck off and die.
