I guess my main complaint is with anyone who wants to tie all our flaws as a species too religion. It's an ignorant cop-out.

I agree with all your points, but I am not sure she is in the minority. Unfortunately though, with just about any ideology and religion, the worst examples are usually the most vocal as well. I would bet that most atheists don't care enough to be preachy, just like most religious and spiritual people go about their business without bothering anyone.
