a number of standard cognitive biases

Um, I'd be happy to hear all about them. Like, specific biases and examples. It's not much help for me just to be told I'm completely clueless.

Your religion-related arguments are of the level of a physics newbie arguing against relativity with the race car-on-a-train idea

Keep in mind that I never intended to challenge atheism. I'm not trying to convert anybody, because I know how that would appear.

You cannot even understand the arguments presented to you, and so you reject them out of hand.

Obviously I have to disagree. I've heard many arguments here that educated me and expanded my understanding, and a few people have said that they agree with points I have made. But if you insist on fixating upon my newness—what specifically would you recommend I read to improve? I've read most of the sequences, and I've been keeping up with general discussion for a few weeks now.
