For an "atheist" Hindu, you sure find lots of ways to sugar coat Hindu texts. Take out the ones you don't like and claim they were mistaken, and then rebrand Hinduism as clean and wholesome again with a fresh lick of paint.
I don't mind to be fair, but a true atheist would just say Hinduism was mostly mythical nonsense which should be consigned to history. That is the approach which ex-Muslims take when they reject Islam.
