A little maybe, but not much.

I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.

It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.

    This just makes you look stupid.

    It’s possible to be an atheist without acting like a 12 year old.

      ok and its possible to follow a religion yourself and not bother other people about it …like you did.

      If the entire world would just learn to mind their own effing business unless it directly affects you, we’d be in such a better place. Why exactly are you against this?

        What religion do I follow that I am bothering people about?

        This proves the exact point that was made earlier - that for some reason, Lemmings are unable to access any critical thinking skills when it comes to religion. You turn your brain off, and just reflexively post r/atheism slogans.

        Like, you get there’s a difference between people proselytizing and people talking about religion? Or am I to believe that the professor for the graduate class in religious historiography I took assigned me books about Muslims because he wanted me to convert to Islam?

          If you arent advocating for more tolerance of religion broadly, why comment at all?

            Religion exists, is followed by many people, and impacts our lives. If you want an understanding of history to you have to have basic background on religious beliefs.

            “Hurr durr skydaddy” is a deliberate refusal to think. It is lazy, it is stupid, it is embarrassing, and it does nothing to help you better understand why things are happening in the world.

            The inability to distinguish proselytizing from any other discussion of religion does not imply good things about your logical reasoning skills.
