I disagree that it's completely lacking on these forums, I always try to be careful to be specific about what I am discussing without casting a wide net, and I've noticed some others that try to do the same.

And sometimes it makes sense to speak about the whole religious group, if you are discussing a property which is common to all of those in that group. That's the difficulty with atheists, the only unifying property among them is the absence of something, which makes it very difficult to use to group together.
