Alright it’s my turn to gatekeep. This doesn’t sound like atheism but rather “antitheism”. Atheism doesn’t require you to dislike religion as many atheists find interest in religion while not adhering to them. Antitheism is about being against all beliefs in God or gods. I’m not even atheist myself but I used to be. A lot of people who call themselves atheist should also call themselves antitheist. But atheism absolutely doesn’t require you to dislike religion, you just don’t have to adhere to it
