i may be very naïve, but i genuinely have no idea what Reddit atheism is and how it differs from atheism in general

ah, i see. specifically, i see that the only religion they use to back up their claims that religion is bad is Christianity. no mention of Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. anywhere. so uh let's see here...that's a Texas sharpshooter fallacy (some people who are bad are Christians, therefore Christianity is bad) combined with an induction fallacy (Christianity is bad, therefore all religions are bad)? so much for the logic they claim to live by

That is simply because Christianity is more popular where they live. Nothing illogical about not dunking on religions obscure to them.
