I think they might be talking about the “atheist culture” that used to exist on reddit back during the New Atheist Movement. This might seem unnecessary but maybe we should distinguish between atheism and Atheism, since that’s usually what people are objecting to.
Even "new atheism" is really not fairly put alongside child porn or racism.
Not the movement, the people on reddit. I think they were comparing their behavior.
That still seems outrageous to compare a smug new atheist to someone who posts child porn
Ok so I don’t want to go to bat too much for an opinion I was mostly speculating on (since that person never clarified), but the atheist community on reddit was a lot worse than just smug pricks back then. Serious sexism, racism, defense of gay marriage but tons of homophobia, etc. This is what I assume the comment OP was talking about.
