    Oh boy, I sure love the ol’ “atheists are filthy neckbeards” canard. Haven’t heard that one before.

      Don’t forget the “not believing in god = sadness” one. Realizing it is fake actually brought relief for the ex-religious people that I know (anecdotal, I know. I don’t have the actual numbers).

        Thats a little unfair. Most religous people have been religious for most of their lives and it makes up a large part of it. Being convinced their whole philosophy is wrong would crush some people

        Exactly. Use your own brain, not rely on a sky daddy who literally gave you instructions on how to own slaves.
