Those are unsupported assertions, none of which engages with this article's argument.

Science undermines the naïve intuitions on which theistic religion is based. Philosophy picks up on that revolution and formulates atheistic arguments.

Whether it's science alone or science plus philosophy that makes for atheism is a quibble. Science struck the death blow by showing us that nature is counterintuitive. The traditional religions are based on intuitive projections of familiar categories, such as personhood, onto the unknown. Philosophers simply point to that clash which is resolved by positing atheism.
