Here are my top 3:

  1. Whataboutism with Christainity - I've been a vocal critic of islam in atheist spaces for well over a decade. There has not been a single instance of me criticizing islam where I did not get a hoard of atheists bringing up Christianity for no reason. There's no relevance and no point to it, but they get really mad when I try to focus on islam. It's like why can't they just accept that islam or other religions can be criticized on their own merits independently?

  2. Self centered American atheists - Whenever I ever bring up my and my family's experiences in the middle east and how horrible islam is over there, there will always be a handful of ignorant American atheists who can't comprehend that the world is more than their country. No ISIS and your dumb MAGA uncle are not the same.

  3. "All religions are bad" - I hate this statement because it's like "all lives matter". Yeah, no shit all religions are bad. That's literally the baseline of any atheist community. All the discussions lie in the nuances beyond that. Smearing this statement all over atheist spaces is completely meaningless.

What about you guys? Are there any things in the atheist community that you noticed that make your eyes twitch? I would love to hear them.

oh dear. you really are a lost cause. Nothing I said got through did it?

edit: thank you for the discussion. Sorry for upsetting you! I genuinely didn't mean to do that, but I admit my approach was abrasive. Something for me to work on! I truly did find chatting with you useful, and I'll take on board what I've learnt from this next time I have a similar debate.

Okay I'm going to block you now. I've been polite in every response I've given. What I'm saying is "let's agree to disagree" but apparently you aren't happy with that.

Protip: it's not polite in any way to describe a person you're talking to as "a lost cause", and that's why I'm blocking you.
