Yet, amoral assholes tricking vulnerable people with tales of magic is how religion spreads.

No it isn't you idiot. But please continue to spout 90s era New Atheism propaganda as if it will change anyone's minds at this point.

of course they’re one of these

how did you imagine this was gonna go?

you show up in a community you don’t participate in and post low-quality edgelord atheist horseshit that doesn’t have anything to do with what you replied to
one of the regulars calls you out on your weird bullshit
you report them for breaking a rule that doesn’t exist and I go “uhhhh ok!” and they’re the one that gets banned for some reason???

Nit: "New Atheism" was the decade after that. Gary Wolf coined the term in a Wired story from 2006.
