(I don't see them posting about, say, how ridiculous Shinto or Hinduism are, or even Scientology, with nearly the same regularity.)
But if you lived in India and spoke Hindi, the arguments you'd see against religion would be against Hinduism. It's a function of living in the West and speaking English that the arguments are against Christianity, which is the major religion. Plus there are a large number of sites dissing Scientology, maybe you haven't searched for them?
It can equally be said from the point of view of an atheist that the arguments I see being run in favour of (among other religions) Christianity are the same arguments re-worded as I've seen since I became an atheist and people (on, among other places alt.atheism) were trying to convince me that I was wrong to do so. Chesterton's is a nice redux of them, but they're not convincing.
