Internet Atheism was a mistake. Watching "We shouldn't be oppressed by god botherers" morph in to anti-muslim fascism back in the 00s and 10s was extremely distressing, and now we've got Dick Dawkins bloviating about transpeople and Jordan Fucking Peterson, who I strongly believe to be a natural continuation of New Atheism's descent in to neofascism.
I can understand if the prayer scene resulted in God stopping the meteor, but it sounds like the idiot sub is being idiots. Plus, most of the characters praying are explicitly non-religious.
R/atheism was all mad about the prayer scene at the end. I'm an atheist but the ones on reddit are so annoying.
Also an atheist, didn't bother me in the least.
