I'm "atheist" but I can't stand the atheism subs. There's just not much to talk about. You could replace them with one post titled "religion sure is stupid, right??" and nothing would be lost.
Makes sense. You don't exactly have atheist scriptures to study and discuss, and you're not going to have any atheological discussions on how nature reflects the lack of a god.
Yep. I don't like calling myself an atheist because I can't stand emphatic atheists. I'm not gonna define my identity by what I don't believe and I could not care less about what other people believe as long as what they practice isn't harmful. If religion brings you joy and you aren't oppressing someone in it's practice, why should I have an opinion on it? You do you!
Well, there can be some things to talk about, like if you live in a country that's mostly religious, then how did you find a romantic partner, or how did you "come out" to your parents etc..
But the "Religion, am I right?"-posts are easy to make and will naturally get a lot more upvotes than a discussion post, so the latter get buried, unfortunately.
