    I mean, I’m an atheist myself but the type of person they’re memeing here definitely does exist. Pretty much only confined to Reddit though. In my experience there are far more cringe theists in most other online spaces.

      it’s also funny to me how many responses these threads get saying

      “well I’m an atheist but…”

      like, ok, good for you. And hey, I genuinely believe almost 3-5 % of these responses lol

        You think I’m lying about being an atheist? Pretty sure that would be against some rule in the bible lmao.

          lying or just trying to be a pick-me, I don’t care, I’m not your psychologist. There’s always people like you who show up and castigate their ‘fellow atheists’ for being annoying, but ignore the enormous harm - and huge annoyances the god botherers inflict upon society writ large.

          so sure, maybe you’re being truthful, I don’t give a fuck, it’s still silly.

            I don’t know how you read my first comment and thought I was ignoring the damage theists do. I very explicitly stated that there are more cringe theists than atheists.

              I don’t care pickme, I don’t believe you. “I’m an atheist but…” I don’t need allies like this. Go shit someplace else.

                You are being very aggressive lol. I’m not being a pickme, I couldn’t give less fucks what religious people think of me. I actively dislike religious people, and agree with you that religion is the root of a good amount of the evil in the world.

                All I said was that annoying atheists do exist (I know, I was one of them).

                If you won’t allow allies to lightly push back on your ideas then you’ll find yourself without many allies.

                Have a great day anyway man.

                  You are being very aggressive lol.

                  you’re investing way more into this than is actually there.

                  I couldn’t give less fucks what religious people think of me.

                  and yet, you feel the need to attack a wide, diverse range of people based on your reddit interactions.

                  I don’t feel like you’re my ally, regardless of what you assume, and allies that attack their own aren’t the allies I want to work with.

                  Have the day you deserve.

                    I did not attack a wide, diverse range of people. I attacked a small subset that exists almost exclusively on Reddit.

                    Would it be worth me saying that I find some atheists annoying, but that I find far, far more theists annoying? I find some people in every group annoying. That doesn’t mean I find everyone in those groups annoying. It also doesn’t mean that I’m not an ally for those groups. I will fight to the death for gay rights but if a gay person is being annoying they’re still being annoying.

                    It’s fine, you don’t think atheists can be annoying. Or you think admitting that they can is counterproductive? That’s also fine. Obviously I disagree, but I just don’t understand your hostility.

                    I’m having a great day so far, thanks!
