Most things people say that try to conflate atheism with theism are insulting, intellectually dishonest and useless

It is not conflating. It is essentially giving advice for how to live, which is that meaning and identity and focus should not be on something material since those can and likely will be lost. Wallace even mentioned the Four Noble Truths as an option, which is not even part of a theistic worldview in many interpretations.

This is the same advice that most who study mental health would give.
