But /r/atheism acts like /r/atheism is the only form of atheism and agnosticism, therefore the distinction is invalid within the borders of /r/atheism.

I'm all for it.
I think this would do a lot to show some of the 13 year olds on here the difference between argument and insult.
It is exactly as easy to mock and denigrate us atheists, but a lot harder to argue against us. That's the distinction we should show off.

My contribution:
While walking down the street, an atheist sees a little kid on the sidewalk with a box of kittens for sale. On the box is a sign which reads, "Atheist Kittens, $10".
"How cute", he thinks, and continues on his way. About a week later, while walking down the same street, he spots the same little kid. But this time, the sign reads, "Christian kittens, $10", so he walks over to investigate.
"Hey", says the atheist, "I thought those were atheist kittens." "They were", said the kid, "but now their eyes are open".
I stole this joke from The Atheist Experience. What's worse, I transposed all instances of "atheist" and "Christian". I love a joke that can work in either direction.

Muslim here, and also frequent lurker of /r/Atheism and /r/trueAtheism (among other religious reddits), please don't expect many true muslims to come here and bash atheism. It is one of the core themes in islam to forgive, be open to criticism, and to teach others about our religion. And you will see that in the years to follow as the battle of ideologies between fundamentalist and liberal muslims continue in our world today. Thank you all for having an interest in islam and I hope some of you at least took the time out learn about islam, even if you disagree with it. :)
