Yeah, well I’m a conservative atheist. I piss off everybody. Atheists typically think they are supposed to be against anything Christians are for while Christians think they have to be against anything atheists typically favor.

It's a ridiculous dichotomy, innit? XD

Well, yes but also no. XD
In my experience, dichotomies are extremes used to define reality. They're fundamentally unrealistic because nothing ever leans completely one direction or another. BUT they are useful for mapping out a position. Duality is a natural phenomenon. Black and white, up and down, hot or cold, tranquil or agitated, etc. What really bothers me about dichotomies is that people will label each other as leaning completely in one direction or the other on any gradient scale, and that simply isn't how human psychology operates. But it just boils down to in-group/out-group bias and people trying to prevent the out-group from becoming an in-group as an evolutionary reflex to rebuke the corruption of their in-group's accepted values. So, I don't like it but I understand it.

Every dichotomy you listed has a middle ground, and some cases thousands of them.
Black and white? Shades of gray.
Hot or cold? You forgot warm. And who gets to decide what is cold or hot?
Tranquill or agitated? You’ve never been mildly pissed off, but not enough to take action? :)

No, 99% of dichotomies are false, especially when used in a debate.

XX vs XY is a real dichotomy as is pregnant or not. But most dichotomies are used to divide people or ideas into tribes for nefarious purposes. There are, almost always, middle grounds.
