Obviously it is. The more interesting question is whether, as with many instances of that template, CCC thinks the anti-religious material is weakest only because it conflicts with CCC’s opinions.
(Those of us who think religion is Bad and Wrong are of course at the same risk of overrating them as CCC is of underrating them.)
However, I do think that I can provide an objective argument for it being poorly fitted. That argument is as follows; it is an important part of the Sequences that one should never write the conclusion to an argument before writing down the argument that leads to that conclusion (the last line on the page should not be written first).
Yet, in the particular case of atheism, we are shown only the last line, and not the supporting argument(s). Hence, poorly fitted to the Sequences as a whole.
Is this an instance of the template “As someone who believes X, I have to say that where this book argues against X is its weakest part.”?

Yes, it probably is :)
