Because it makes the rather arrogant claim to know what is going on inside the head of atheists"""

No, it makes a reasonable inference from the FACT that atheists target their ire only against CHRISTIANITY. That suggests to the author - and to me - that atheists have a nagging sensation that Christianity is TRUE,and they don't like that one damn bit.

Which is the dominant religion in this country, and the one from which the vast, vast majority of our public traditions and practices are based.

Homosexuals use the same logic to suggest that virulent homophobes are in fact repressed gays themselves. We can do better than to adopt their style of argument, particularly when there are far simpler and more plausible explanations.
