“* Irreligious people see all religions as equally preposterous.”

This is a good example of the logical fallacy of composition. Anyone who makes this kind of assertion instantly marks himself out as a less than adept thinker. The response is:

I, who am irreligious, do not see all aspects of all religions to be equally preposterous. To me, most aspects of Islam are preposterous and most aspects of Christianity are not.
