God put eternity in our hearts. Religion isn't fragile in the way you suppose, and even filth can be used as an In, to speak of higher things. Hate is reserved for the inhuman, the non-human-being who itself hates humanity, and the inhuman behaviors that ally humans with it; but saving the human so caught, is ever the goal. ANYTHING can be directed to co-creation, and to co-sonship in the divine family, to the invitation to be God's family, to that good news*; only the observer must learn to turn such things, so that they point to God:•
If error, use condescension, or explanation, or even chastisement; but it must be measured, for wisdom is not for the unwilling.
If filth, use shame, or sarcasm, or even ridicule; but it must be honest, or it will fall flat.
If outright evil, use cancellation, banning, even outright battle (in minecraft?); but always as a means to turn a heart, because Jesus - who is the Most High God and captain of his host - wants all everywhere not merely to die or suffer or struggle, but to turn.
Don't worry so much about tired 30+ year old leftists' works of state-funded God-hate. The state hates God: the djinn who run it have hated God since before Babel. It's not new. The whole goal of Christ's death, was to show God's very own bodily resolve to re-instate humans to the Edenic royal priesthood, OVER all things terrestrial: which now includes a number of beings that started elsewhere...
* that such familiarity is again possible
• That is the necessary mindset anyway; ongoing rebellion makes some human persons impossible...
The Adamic spirit was rejection, from both sides, God and Mankind
The 2nd temple Jewish spirit was pregnant, and promising of something-yet-to-come, a Savior
The Christian spirit is delivered sonship, already but not yet, co-creation restored
The Muslim spirit is submission, by all necessary means, humble tools to an angry high God
Force has no role in love. So the Love arc in the above story of humanity, is only shown in A-J-C. This means that "defending Abrahamic religion":
does not cover all that needs defense, as it leaves out pre-Abrahamic humanity...
and
uses force where love is required...
I'll defend Christ instead: but with an eye to persuasion, rather than coercion. God wants us all back from the prior exhile to rule-by-djinn. May it be so.
These rabbit trails are not the point, but I'll engage even here some... vvvvvvvv
🐰1: Mohammed was a pedophile: Aisha was 9 when he sexed her up. He was also a warlord; cf the Arabic heritage imposed on the entire Medditerranean via invasion. These are both disgusting aspects of a "perfect person"; yet I've used this to talk with you. Filth. Used to present better.
🐰2: Revisit your stats. VERY few people have enough faith in themselves to be entire atheists... Certainly not a "majority". So the discussion of fragility is mired in your bad hypostasis.
🐰3: Your repeated return to Piss Christ, is you lathering yourself up over a non-issue. Nobody sensible argues that it has value. We all discounted it as worthless speech, or worse. LONG AGO.
🐰4: What you mean by "defend" is materially violent, by the examples you give of "beating". This accomplishes "submission", as is your faith-tenet, but ennobles nothing and no one; and comprises a rotten core, held central in Islam: jihad and jizyah. Freedom of speech sublimates physical fighting to mere words. This converts Force (Mo) into Persuasion (JC).

The difference in the spirits:

The 2nd temple Jewish spirit was pregnant, and promising of something-yet-to-come, a Savior

If you don't follow Christ as God, you don't defend him.
