Eugh.
I mean, it’s not wrong, but this has the energy of a Facebook meme for people who make atheism their entire personality.
If I saw someone with this mug I would probably avoid them.
Yeah stuff like this is cringe.
Science isn't a culture or a belief system, nor is it a substitute for those things. Science isn't an aesthetic or a political or group ideology.
A lot of religions don't even make scientific claims.
The mug doesn't claim anything you wrote, either (or give a fuck 😄).
YOU don't give a fuck what people believe. You. Science has nothing to do with it. Science isn't a person, it doesn't have the capacity for indifference. Science is a method, a process, a set of tools. Science isn't a gotcha to your political or ideological opponents. If you want to say that you don't care what people believe, fine (that's still cringe) but leave science out of it.
