I have been involved in this conversation for a few days. Cider eally breaks it down and it is one of the best things I have ever read on r/athiest.

1. I had never done that much in-depth thinking about it,

but I have to agree with this article.

The part that I think is most significant from what I have seen is

"5. After the second world war, the USA had a massive internal propaganda system designed to attack socialism and the left. Communists were 'atheists', Communists were bad and anti-American, ergo atheists were bad and anti-American."

We have replaced Commies with Muslims as the real threats, but there is still that "anti-American" attitude toward anyone who is not Christian.

8. That's why they put "In GAWD We Trust" on the money...

It's supposed to burn our fingers or something.

4. Who uses Reddit, and how does it work?

Do more people use that site than use DU religion and atheist forums?

I don't quite know how it works.

5. Reddit...

Is one of the largest sites I know of with the most variety. If there is an interest, there is a subreddit for it.
I hang there more than anywhere. Its like DU but more and better...the discussions are more varied, the bickering and snark tend to be less than most sites. I am involved in r/politics, r/progressives and a slew of others. Fair warning though, it is a time sucker!

Here is a list...
