You are going here, from talking about people having "difficulty grasping nuance" and

"they have a hard time seeing things as more than black and white", how "it's easy for them to not have empathy for others positions" to talking about how "these people are really hard to deprogram", and giving the general implication that you, yourself, are looking at the world in a very black-and-white, stereotypical, and non-empathetic way.

It sounds to me like you yourself are taking these worldviews that I assume you disagree with, specifically the idea of "atheism", "positivism", and so on, and wrapping them up in an easy-to-dismiss package of people who just can't help but view the world in the "correct" way.
