  Just one more community Bro! I swear that will fix it
- And honestly, most of Lemmy is already pretty close, haha.
- Ours is the only True ~~God~~ Atheism!
As an atheist I never got the point of evangelizing atheism. Isn't that half the problem with religions?
- When a person believes in a religion, they have trained their brains to ignore part of reality. Once you've trained your brain to do that, manipulative people can more easily abuse your brain into thinking other incorrect things.
  And that's how you get MAGA
  So the purpose is less about evangelizing atheism, and more about fixing other people's brains for the betterment of society.
  
  Every religion thinks they're "fixing" people by evangelizing
  
  I mean, scientific materialism also denies a large part of reality. Or at least I knew that really, really well the last time I did mushrooms
- we live in a society that denigrates atheism because it's a threat to their dogma driven belief systems.
  advocating for logic over proselytism isn't evangelizing, grow up. you sound like Kirk Cameron lol
  
  Idk, I haven't been denigrated in a hot second.
- Not evangelizing. It's more about personal connections and being comrades. Community.
- I do find it a bit distasteful sometimes but I'd disagree with you here. It's a support group and the only way to wake up society to absurd flaws of religion is through community conciousness.
  
  In my experience most of these online groups are just memes and stories about being superior to religious people. I had to bail on them because it was gross.
  
  True. I never got the point of it.
  But I’m atheist/agnostic in a place where nearly everyone else is. I guess it feels a bit different when you live somewhere where literally everyone else is religious.
It's VERY new since it has no posts at all.
- Ideally an empty atheist group is the platonic ideal. Nothing about nothing. No arguments. No exclusion. No evangelicals. No conversion attempts.
  
  One day, hopefully! One fateful day with a secular majority. I have a dream. ✊
- Yeah, enjoy it now before the atheists destroy it with their atheism.
  
  Damn atheists! They ruined atheism!
  
  You mean with their antitheism?
I clicked and that instance is blocked in the UK? TIL. heres the message i got
It's best to include the standard fedi-format for cross-linking: !atheist@lemmy.zip
This way, people can traverse through their instance without switching websites on some frontends.
I'm number one!
