"respects and propounds Atheism like Hinduism does. Isn't that glorious"..
Even someone who reads graduate course level Hindu philosophy book on Darshanas will know how much "respect" various schools had for Atheism. Particularly of the Carvak kind.

"Propounds" is an overkill.
Hinduism acknowledges that Charvakas and other flavours of Nastikas exist. Mere acknowledgememt of existence doesn't mean "respects" "propounds". Infact one will see aggressive attempts at refuting the nastika streams. Beginning with Carvaka.

But that is ok. That is for regular offline Hinduism. For internet Hinduism different standards apply. Here the stripes are earned by your ability to argue against the "other". On that count the OP is famous for his takedowns and rebuttals on Islamists, Leftists etc.

That is good enough for Internet Hinduism. Let us not confuse that with the core of the practicing and contemplative high philosophy aspects of the religion though.

We just acknowledge the existence of Carvaka stream in Chapter 1 of Darshanas only to refute starting Chapter 2.
This is a good reference to learn more on how real rebuttals are done.
