I'm not saying the subreddit has improved at all, I'm just saying that with all of the court rulings this year that have been favorable to the Christian right, it's kind of been a reminder to a lot of people that "oh yeah, the Christofascists really are as awful as Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, etc. said they were". So "Reddit atheism" and "new atheism" don't seem as cringe as they did 5-6 years ago.
r/atheism has had an amazing redemption arc this year
(or at least the political environment has changed in a way that greatly affirms it)
How so out of curiosity?
