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?

The main ingredients of Reddit atheism are race science + Evopsy trash + ad hoc social conservatism, they're not atheists in the least, they worship capitalism as a transcendent force

First sub to ban me, my offense: saying we should take anti-atheiests at their word and get them before they get us.

Atheism means you do not believe in a god.

Antitheism means you actively believe there is no god. A mild distinction but it's the difference between what you're asserting.

I was essentially raised atheist. My parents never told me god existed, but they never told me god didn't exist. It wasn't a factor in how I was raised to understand the world. As I grew up I learned other people were religious and came to my own conclusions eventually.

Antitheism means you actively believe there is no god.

I haven't seen any anti theists use this definition. I've only seen it mean you're against theism.

Not much, they both will eventually revert back to secular western christianity

smugness, islamophobia, these are the distasteful traits that gave reddit atheism its bad rep.
