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?

If you tried to discuss it with anyone you would be ridiculed and sometimes even physically threatened.

I don't know if this is true. You can read plenty of early/mid 20th century books where characters will outright talk about how they don't believe in a god. Sure certain areas you could get away with it more, but I think there has always been some prevailing strain of people just going along with the community aspect and not being a believer.
