since when are religiously motivated killings “content”? same goes for fatwas. obviously i was referring to online content, specifically the trash found here and on /r/atheism
The person started by saying they were not religious. Feels like you’re just looking to offend some religious people… on an atheist community. Kinda proving their point there bud.
exactly my point. the atheism subreddit used to be exactly like this too. it’s chock full of anti-religious circlejerkers that want nothing but to own believers and it’s just pure brainrot.
but that’s my problem with the current state of lemmy in general. it seems like there’s a lot of reactionary bullshit and no actual discussion. people will just assume that you believe certain things if you disagree with what they’re saying.
while you’re defining quaint, have a go at defining “content” and make sure it includes fatwas and religious killings, since you consider those to be content.
or perhaps you’re just circlejerking with the other antitheists here and it doesn’t matter as long as God bad Science good.
It’s not the atheist part that sucks, just that a community for people who don’t believe in something’s (as opposed to a community for people who believe in something) lowest common denominator is basically hating something else, so you get a lot of condescending posts.
Doesn’t help that a lot of posts are also very edgy, because atheism tends to skew towards the younger generation. I cringe every time, but at least it’s not as bad as people taking the opportunity to be racist in the name of atheism.
I think all communities can be annoying in this exact way if they resort to virtue signaling / dunking / repeating the classic lines, as opposed to working to form new arguments.
i’m not religious, but anti-religious enlightened atheist garbage is some of the worst content out there
Really? Pedantry is as bad as fatwas and religiously motivated killings?
How quaint.
Bigots can still support religious bigotry even if they aren’t religious!

Define “trash”. I suspect your definition is equally quaint.
can you define quaint? bc it doesn’t seem like your intention lines up with its meaning
I’m being facetious. Believers like you complaining about atheists while enjoying a position of privilege are perfect targets for mockery.

Maybe. But given that we’re not wrong, I don’t care if you’re offended.

are you sure you didn’t catch religion off someone who was contagious at the time?

Atheism is the rejection of thiest’s arguments. You’ll have to get the ball rolling over there before we can do anything.
