They were saying that the atheists arguing against religion were only seen as insufferable because religion is so ingrained in scociety. They're talking about whether loud atheists are cringe for being loud athiests - not for all their other takes (some of those obviously are cringe, to say the least).

That's an awful lot of claims that went unsaid

Not really, it's just what they said.

But because society is so lathered with religious rhetoric, you perceive the few who voice their disbelief as being just as bad as the people who try to enforce their belief.
