Does this also include belittling and ridiculing atheists who choose not to
buy into superstitions?

What about children forced into their parents' religious superstitions? Do
you find that as dispicable as I do? That's child abuse.

I've not belittled or ridiculed atheists who choose to believe whatever
they believe, and I'd feel the same about anyone who did.

What you define as 'superstition', another may define as 'faith'. What you
define as 'child abuse', another may define as the instilling of values.
