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?

being completely sure that god isn't real is a faith/vibes based belief

Honestly, this is a strawman.

its plain that agnostic is the more sensible position anyway

Oh, you're arguing for the "agnosticism and atheism are mutually exclusive, completely separate things and you can't be both" position. This is really just a semantic thing, then.

Atheism is most certainly not what you defined it as, so your comment comes off as confusing ngl.

On a more general note, this is a majority Marxist instance, so criticisms of atheism on HB come off as odd to me, like people forgot that Reddit-type new atheists aren't the only kind of atheist.
