Christianity gives us happy christmas holidays, what holidays has atheism given us 
Stalin's Birthday Celebrations?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin%27s_cult_of_personality
Quote
Joseph Stalin's cult of personality became a prominent part of Soviet culture in December 1929, after a lavish celebration for Stalin's 50th birthday. For the rest of Stalin's rule, the Soviet press presented Stalin as an all-powerful, all-knowing leader, and Stalin's name and image became omnipresent. From 1936 the Soviet journalism started to refer to Joseph Stalin as the Father of Nations.

... and ordered the elimination of entire ... and trees!
No one ever talks about the trees. They had it bad too but are completely forgotten in history LOL!
Dogma that exploits fear and encourages group think in any form is really dangerous. Religion is just the most successful and thus most horrific example because. Fear keeps animals alive, it is our most primal of instincts to fight or flight and that decision is purely based on a fear expectation result. In order to reduce a fear based reaction which we hate because they can lead to death if wrong, a lot of animals find protection in groups, it comforts them immensely.
How about adding to the list at 11 something like.
You think that "re-branding" words from the bible like slavery to a really good social security program for its time somehow changes the meaning of the words and texts!
I wonder how many "Christians" know the name Yaweh without looking it up! just a little buttress for #1
re: trees
"Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
"Only the trees which you know are not fruit trees you shall destroy and cut down"
I added your point about the reinterpretation and redefinitions of words.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above list can be also applied to Muslims or Jews with small corrections. Just replace the atrocities, name of the holy book and the name of the religion. All other details apply equally.
PS. Few bonus signs:
1. You constantly reinterpret and redefine words like slavery, stoning, killing or murder to make sense of the sadistic passages in the Bible.
