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.)

    Your first problem is being on Reddit.

    Your second problem is that you made a personal attack, which is against reddiquette.

    Has nothing to do with the discussion your are having.

    But to answer you rather question directly, it is complex question and many atheists think differently on this topic. It is not like we have an atheist Bible.

      100%.

      As an atheist who never went to any meetings, never got a pamphlet, never joined an organization. Our opinions are as diverse as all humans. Just because we don’t believe in something doesn’t mean we agree anything else.
