Maybe, then again considering they've been spamming memes about reclaiming god from capitalists I think there may be another reason. I don't mind religious people in Marxist spaces one bit. I mind when they start punching me in the face and telling me I need to be more tolerant unprovoked which is what this is.
Though Lemmy world is obviously awful and full of fascist-boot-licking reddit left-libs, getting banned there for -that- and getting angry is pretty sad if true. I'd rather be upset with their support of Nazis in Ukraine or their hatred of China and Sino and Russo-phobia that goes far beyond "hating the government". For their weak stance on Palestine and the zionist fascists and so on.
why? if thats the case they are saying all atheist are reactionaries otherwise they would have specified, or better wouldn't have said atheist at all. also im not inclined to give anyone who upholds reactionary ideologies the benefit of the doubt and no one but a theist would have made this.
