On number 2, I knew a Christian who referred to atheists as walking zombies.
The response to number 4 should be used more often by atheists in such a rational manner as he used.
Number 8 is used because it's from the Bible that those who became "true" (Born-Again as opposed to those who just grew up in a Christian environment) Christians would always be Christians.
On number 10, most atheists I have met online (as opposed to the majority of atheists) know very little about the Bible (a few notable exceptions such as minimalist aside). I actually had the greatest insight (leaps and bounds more than what I received from Christians) from an atheist on the Bible. Though I doubt the position made that atheists think about religion all the time...most just don't give a shit and are happy for it.
On number 11, I have to agree that Christians really need to help out. The "I'll pray for you" for an atheist is really just the same as "you'll be in my thoughts" which is nice to say, but doesn't really do much. Had a Christian tell me they were upset for getting the atheist answer when they were down on their luck.
On number 13, I'd say everyone can be agnostic to an extent.
On number 14, some atheists have replaced religion with something that ended up being the exact same thing as religion. That's not true for most atheists though. Though religion as a defined word has secondary meanings that could define a great many things as religious.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
