Your question is not as simple as you think it is.
Anyone could call ANYONE harmful and abhorrent if they wanted to.
What is the criteria for defining what is harmful and abhorrent? What an atheist like you believes it to be?....what a right wing evangelical thinks it to be?....just what?
You might say "but I know that religion is harmful and abhorrent!"....and they could say the same about atheism being harmful and abhorrent!
It is just opinion.
And in my view, you are not being respectful to the opinions of religious people, and your self-righteousness is not that much different from what you attack in others. Your loss, actually.
Anyone can be "respectful" towards the views of people they agree with. It is harder to respect the views we don't agree with. Keep in mind that respect does not mean agree with.
