Under normal circumstances, no Atheism is as much a religion as not owning a car is owning a car…
But then you get these “Euphoric Reddit Atheists” who treat it more like a faith, like a church dedicated to physicalism, a worship of Science but a lack of understanding of how to do Science beyond running into a church and yelling “FAKE!” at Jesus on the cross. It’s fucking cringe.
If you’ve never had this exact bullshit pushed on you as sincere argument, count yourself lucky.
‘Do you want that to be true?’ is the sort of hair-pulling nonsense that makes you want to shake someone and ask what the fuck they think truth means.
‘Why bother?’ and ‘Why be a decent human being to people around you?’ are both just sad. Like these people have nothing else going on in their lives.
‘You don’t understand’ or ‘I was like you once’ and other universal dodges are rhetorical dismissal requiring no effort or context whatsoever.
Bro I’ve had this shit pushed on me every which way, but Reddit Atheists have tried to convert me harder than any other religion.
Rejecting bullshit is not a religion.
Why did you call this a strawman if you know it’s what people actually try?
