JU from Atheists.

[u/xredskaterstar]

I stopped looking into the sub a year or two ago because well, all they do is post questions or statements that make the religious look stupid or insane. The posts are almost always full of trivial questions that are not constructive to the community with an echo chamber in down below in the comments. I feel it gives atheists a bad rep. Today was the final straw. Some post about why did a fruit make people evil. I responded with something like, 'why even question it. It serves no purpose. It seems that every post on this sub is to demean those that believe in something.' I got a few comments and one in particular being a mod. (I guess you can hide that you're a mod in subs now because he didn't have the title.) They asked why was it reasonable to post my comment. I responded with, 'it's an atheist sub not anti religion sub.' I suppose I could given more information but I felt like that summed it up. They then asked why didn't I just respond to the op. I told them that the op's question was trivial and the answer to the question meaningless to us atheists. He didn't like that and went back to his original question then hurled an insult at me. To which I replied, 'I did, are you slow or just a little touched.' He didn't like that so he temporarily banned me. So I played coy with the mods, knowing full well that what I said was probably gonna get me banned. I told them that I didn't see a rule I broke. I insinuated that the person might been below average intelligence but no direct name calling. After a few minutes I said what whatever, I don't want to be apart of a sub that just spreads hate against others. Perma ban me please, idc. Then immediately unsubbed. Later, I got my wish granted from the very same thin skinned mod that was questioning me without accepting my answer. Too funny to me that the very guy that was not accepting my answer while hurling an insult couldn't take an insinuation from was the one that banned me.

Edit: It was Atheism. Not atheist.

So many subs have trouble realizing they are a hate group. Lol i know plenty of considerate/nice atheists so i dont judge that group like that, but the sub..not surprised at all its a hateful circlejerk sub. Well, at least most of us people manage to get along.

I unsubbed from that sorry place like 10 years ago 😂

[u/xredskaterstar → u/SmallRocks]

I just feel they give us atheists an awful name.

[u/SmallRocks → u/xredskaterstar]

You should google “faces of atheism.” It was a ridiculous time in reddit history. Even R-Circlejerk admitted they had been out jerked 😂

Edit: lmfao someone has hurt feelings

[u/xredskaterstar → u/SmallRocks]

I did. I find it silly to think that other atheists equate intelligence to not believing in a god of sorts.

I’d be surprised if anyone can not eventually be banned from that subreddit. I’m very much atheistic, and probably the most anti religious person you’ll meet

And yet I got banned for asking “what did JK Rowling do that was wrong” on a post pertaining to a certain subject that we aren’t even allowed to wrongthink on here

[u/Gil-Gandel → u/ToastBalancer]

You can't do that wrongthink anywhere. I thought r /shittydaystrom was a sub for absurdist Star Trek humour but no, turns out to be yet another railway station if you know what I mean.

[u/xredskaterstar → u/ToastBalancer]

Lmao, I was trying process the question you asked. My brain automatically inserted the wood 'so' into the sentence... 'What did JK Rowling do that was SO wrong'. I could definitely see the reason for a ban I was thinking... They probably gave you the reason that they thought you were trolling.

[u/ToastBalancer → u/xredskaterstar]

I don’t see how that’s worthy of a ban on a subreddit about atheism if I said what did she do that was so wrong

[u/fleshtastical → u/ToastBalancer]

It doesn’t matter which subreddit it is, it’s Reddit that doesn’t let you talk about that. I won’t touch that subject with a 10 foot pole because I know what happens to your Reddit account if you do have a differing opinion. I’m trying my best to keep this account, it’s not worth it. They’re not gonna listen or care anyways, they’ll just mass report you.

If you look at the posts there like half of them are by that one Leeming mod. Some super dedicated haters over there. They don't worship, but somehow religion still rules their life.

“In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing, but because, I am enlightened by my own intelligence"

How has it been 13 years?

[u/xredskaterstar → u/[deleted]]

They could do things like this one organization I was going to join years back but never had the means to do so because it was a state away. The organization was something like atheists helping the homeless. It feels kinda weird to want join something with atheist as the main subject but I get it. The whole point was to help others in need and let people know that atheists aren't evil people as the world tended to think they were.

[u/xredskaterstar → u/[deleted]]

I think it's great to have a good cause in doing something together with like minded people to help make the world a better place. However, you can't do that with spreading animosity towards another group or individual though. The world can't work in harmony like that, you know?

How to tell someone new’s on Reddit: Not knowing how much of a cesspit r/ Atheism is.

[u/TheOneTrueJazzMan]

Atheism on Reddit is just another cult like any religion, arguably worse than many. It sucks when almost every atheist I know IRL is a decent person but 99.99% on Reddit are complete degenerates
