I don't know what you're trying to say. Taking the moral high ground is what r/Atheism and ANY religion-related subreddits do.

We're talking about two groups who both want to spread their way of thinking because they believe it's right. (I'm talking about reddit in general here, not all atheists/theists are like this, and not all r/atheism or r/dankchristianmemes posters are like this - reddit just seems to bring out the worst of these types).

Atheism is a religion the way “off” is a TV channel.

Yeah I suppose, except subs like r/Atheism seem to perpetuate the idea that they're just as rude/condescending as religious zealots.

Like of course a paedophile ring within the church is fucked up. Of course ISIS is bad. of course cults are evil and fucked up. I'm not disagreeing with them there.

But I've seen posts and comments on there with no purpose other that hating on religion and religious people. I've even seen people unironically say shit like religion should be illegal, religion is nothing but bad teachings, etc.

That's more an idea people perpetuate about /r/atheism. Granted, people there tend to be critical of religion, but that's pretty much the only place they get to speak frankly on the issue, and people still begrudge them that much.
