Something just struck me wrong when I read this...

Back up there, schoolboy. Christians *can* be categorized insofar as that they
all have one thing in common that binds them-- belief in God. But you would
be hard pressed to find a single common belief among *all* Atheists, short of
their lack of belief in God (in which case you are hardly talking about
Atheists in particular).

so...
I could attack *extremist* Christians, which are a group who *all* believe in
the concept of bombings and find the killing of innocents *perfectly*
acceptable. You *will not* find such agreement in Islam, or any other religion
AFAIK (although you *might* find it in some *extreme* fringe group, but they
would be condemned by the group as a whole anyway). The equation of such
extremist groups and their larger groups is what I find objectionable.
Can't you see how much you're contridicting yourself?
