When I called someone out for being “delusional” and “a problem”, I was perma-banned from the r/atheism. Have I missed something? Are atheists at literal war with theists? Is it the common belief that theists are willing members of “murderous organizations”? What propaganda is being passed around atheist circles that I’ve been missing out on?

More directly, I guess, is today’s Atheism strictly about anti-Christianity? Cause that’s not where I’m coming from nor interested in going.

For added context of the conversation I was attempting to have - “everybody or nobody”; if a pride flag alone fails to represent everyone (which it inherently does), wouldn’t the proposed argument prevent hanging the flag? I thought it was a reasonable reply to the idea and was shocked by “murderous organizations” coming into play.

(I mean, people have been hanging American flags and singing the National Anthem too.)

    Don’t mind getting banned on r/atheism. The staunchest atheists get banned over there for not adhering to the hive mind. It’s a cesspool.

      LOL. That was exactly what I said when they offered to submit an appeal. I said I wasn’t interested in being associated with the hive-mind zealots.
