      because dipshits making money off saying dumb shit ruined the word on youtube a decade ago or something, it's hard to tell but people really react negatively towards 'atheist' these days

        Nah, people here and in some specific parts of reddit react negatively. The rest of the world rightfully doesn't give a shit.

          Something I've noticed on left spaces the last few years if you are open about being an atheist or say something that makes it obvious you're an atheist, they'll respond smugly like "tips fedora" or something. Kind of annoying, like god damn sorry for not being religious.

          People irl don't give a shit and I live in the Bible Belt.

        Nah, It's probably because a lot of "New Atheists" define Atheism as a lack of faith in god (mostly for dumb semantic purposes) and this looks to me like something made by a "new atheist" in the late 2000s

        any of those people can be agnostic though, and most religious people are. Though some people use agnostic as slang for like, atheist who doesn't want to be harassed
