I'm an atheist, and I don't base any arguments (let alone all) on just the abrahamic religion.
I'll be as clear as I can:
All religion is bogus. I believe in the Abrahamic god of Judaism, Christianity and Islam the same as I believe in Thor, Zeus and Aphrodite. I believe in the monkey god of Hinduism as much as I believe in the all powerful Xenu of Scientology bullcrap. All have roughly the exact same amount of evidence - that is: zero. To be even more clear: I also don't believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, leprechauns, witches, devils, demons, pixies, magical unicorns that fart rainbows, or vampires that twinkle in the sunlight and fall in love with moody high school girls.
I think the difference in the west is that there are a lot more Christians around, and thus Christianity is pushed in our faces more (certainly in the US, and even moreso in the Southern US). It's hard not to make fun of Fox News, but they aren't usually discussing Scientology or Hinduism. They do occasionally discuss Santa though, so I will mock them for that too...
