Christianity and Atheism are polar opposites. Infact the Militant Atheist movement itself is targeted against the Semitic religions like Christianity and Islam.
Atheism is an inclusive part of Hinduism, so it works out well for Hindus.

I'm guessing you know absolutely nothing about either Hinduism or Atheism.
That shouldn't stop you, though. Please continue making an ass of yourself. It's hilarious.

This part is basically true, because the "militant atheist" movement is almost entirely western, where the Abrahamic trio is the main three western culture has dealt with (Christianity as the true religion, Judaism as the strange religion in society, Islam as the enemy, especially nowadays). Hinduism, Buddhism, none of those religions have any real power in the west.
Now go look in a place like Burma where Buddhists are murdering and burning down Muslim villages, in India where Hindu fundamentalists are basically copying the American religious right. That's not atheism (duh), and any atheist there likely has some strong words to say to those Buddhists and Hindus.
"Atheism is an inclusive part of Hinduism,"
And gluttony is an inclusive part of fasting, fascism is an inclusive part of anarchy, scuba diving in the ocean is an inclusive part of desert dwelling, bicycling is an inclusive part of NASCAR,....
To be a militant Christian you have to kill gays or blow up a clinic. To be a Militant Muslim you have to use IEDs and hijack planes. To be a militant Jew you have to throw rocks at school kids. To be a militant atheist? You just have to vocally disagree with Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
Atheism is an inclusive part of Hinduism
By that reasoning, we're all atheists, since we all deny the existence of some god or another.
"X is an inclusive part of Y" doesn't seem to make much sense. X might be an included part of Y, or X might include part(s) of Y, X might perhaps even include all of Y within itself, but if X is a proper subset of Y then the word "inclusive" is not right for that sentence.
and as far as i know about hinduism (which isn't much, granted) i'd say atheism and hinduism are disjunct sets without overlap. so any derivation of the word "to include" would be wrong for this context.

My great aunt said I was part Indian, but I thought she meant Lakota. Who knew?
"atheism" means "not believing in gods"
Hindus believe in numerous gods
Confused?
