Ignoring thousands of years of history where religion literally controlled people does not help the rest of your arguments.

I'm afraid not - it's you that is blithely ignoring history. Religion has been used to justify revolt as much as - if not far more - than it has been used to justify conformity.

I guess we're beyond the point of merely calling this "edgelord atheism" now - I'd say that a better term for it would be fundamentalist atheism. And, like everything peddled by the right, it's perfectly ahistorical and essentialized.
