Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it
If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?
Reddit atheism was called out at the time for being a veil for Western (and even Christian) chauvinism. It was mainly used as a justification of imperialist wars on Muslim countries.
This critique has born out, as Reddit atheist types (Dawkins, Elon) have since self identified themselves as Christian Chauvinists.
There's a lot of answers here, but I think this is the most useful.
There's lots of different ways to be atheist, but Reddit Atheism is a specifically Christian phenomenon; (typically) people who were raised in Protestant Christian culture, and stopped believing in God without really examining any of the other beliefs and underlying assumptions that came with it.

and it's never from any sort of principled stance or understanding of Islam, it's just because for the last twenty years Muslims have been a socially accepted punching-bag in the english-speaking world.
