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?

    It wasn’t far off from the much more successful (but still cringe) pitch for “singularity” cultists to brand themselves as capital-R “Rationalists.” They may as well have called themselves the Very Smartists. big-yud

      oh, that’s when the gamergate crowd discovered atheism right? I tuned out after that. The Amazing Atheist was just peak cringe, but him going white supremacist (I forgot how open it was) turned it from i-cant to what-the-hell

        It’s not quite lined up chronologically; a lot of Reddit New Atheists were that first then became freeze-gamergaters when their “debunk creationism” Youtube heroes chudded out.
