I’ll start! There was a lot of absolutist rhetoric there that said things along the lines of “All Christians are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people!” I think a little nuance is in order, no?

    browsing r/atheism is like being run over by a truck full of middle schoolers who got lost on their way to bully kids at the park because they’ve never touched a boob. like bumping up against their teacher’s armpit makes them better than everyone else. the fundamental core of the subreddit is rotten and needs to be scrapped entirely.

    if you want this to be a good group, one that appeals to thoughtful, interesting, and cool people, instead of stuck-up, gatekeeping dorks who do nothing but shit on religion all day (we get it, we are all atheists, you’re preaching to the choir), it’s gotta be the opposite of r/atheism. that is, be a community that is home to atheists, one where any and all topics can be discussed, rather than a community about atheism, where atheism is the single focus. in the former, i can talk with members of my atheist community about a movie i enjoyed; in the latter, i can only talk about atheism. in the former, i can talk with my atheist online friends about this wonderful book i’m reading. in the latter, i can only talk about atheism. you get the point.

    good luck, have fun

    p.s. sorry to end this so abruptly. things need doing, and i think i made myself clear enough. <3
