And it has some vocal adherents who are really dogmatic and take the position that believers are delusional and that religion is a disease that should be eradicated.

Both the extreme that you describe within religion and the one I describe within atheism are intolerant and bigoted.

And whether atheism has any instructions to oppress or diminish women, women are reporting that it is happening within organized groups. Do you think they are lying?
