Furthermore, they take a simple concept and take the extreme oppositions. For example, if someone says that they are not in support of war, you cannot say they are in support of doing nothing. In many instances people that oppose a war would feel strongly that other measures are necessary. However, arguments such as the link quoted above ignore that concept.
Finally, atheist arguments are really interesting because they normally take a radical belief that is identical to the fundamentalists who they loathe so severely. For example, "I believe there is a god just because I think there should be one." "Haha, you're an idiot to believe in a god because I don't think there is one," in which both are normally followed by some primitive supporting statement that a two year old is capable of presenting.
