    Considering how much military power is currently involved regarding the people that pay those online racist nerds, and what they are paid to do, no, it's not that silly.

      I'm sorry I don't understand what you're saying. You're saying the military are paying reddit atheists to spread propaganda? I don't get it

        I'm saying that many of them, by their own admission, have jobs with the US DoD.

          Ok but so do a lot of evangelicals, and they actually have the backing of churches. Like the Christian churches have historically been some of the most corrupt institutions ever and are literally indoctrination machines. Reddit atheists are a recent movement of fascist-adjacent nerds with a few YouTubers as their figureheads. They're clearly not on the same level

            I never said otherwise.

            My point is that it's an arrogant mistake to assume that an absence of religion is some sort of ideological protection against being a monster.

            That was a side matter, but still a concerning one considering how much misogynistic (and Islamophobic) bullshit he stoked in his followers.
