This is going strongly into the regime of "no true scotsman" fallacy. Imagine someone advocating for women's bodily autonomy by criticizing the fundamentalist Christian movement in the US, and someone else popping up saying "Have you read the bible? What about Jesus's teachings about love and kindness?"

Really, the person you should be preaching Peter Singer to are the people inside of EA who might be misguided with promises of fat stacks of cash. Criticizing atheists for not knowing "the true teachings of Jesus" really doesn't do you much good, just makes you look defensive and responsibility-avoiding.
