Your entire premise was a joke. You pretended that the existence of a well-known atheist making judgmental statements about religion is proof that atheism is a religion. Then you insist that all the negative things Mormonism has said about other religions doesn't count because it's not plastered on a billboard.

Mormonism is founded on pejorative judgments of other religions.

Calling the entire premise a joke is just a continued sign of pathetic laziness.

Wrong bloodeyed girl. It is simply laziness.

It's like a lawyer walking into a courtroom for his closing arguments and simply saying "everything that guy said was wrong" and thinking that concluded the case.

If the jury, the judge, the bailiff, and the rest of the courtroom laughed at and mocked the opposing lawyers ridiculous arguments throughout the proceedings, then that might be the perfect closing argument.
