Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

"Reddit Atheism" is Atheism with debate bro characteristics. Its what happens when you try to substitute not believing in god for an actual personality. Also its largely undergirded with un self-aware (sometimes self-aware) western and white supremacy. They are more interested in being abrasive and irreverent than actually learning/understanding any sort of greater truths or why people believe them.
