Many people are hesitant to identify as atheists because of the social stigma they may face, making it hard to pinpoint connections and differences among this group.
Yeah to be honest I just didn’t feel like digging into the nuances. There is atheism (nonreligious), and there is Atheism (religious). And to be clear, that’s totally fine. I have nothing against a/Atheism, only anti-theism or any other form of religious exclusivism.
Fair enough. It is a bit of nuance your should consider sharing, as some people in this sub feel antagonized by the idea of being labeled religious. I know that might be the exact self-identifying and group type dynamic that you may equate with religion (I would disagree, but that’s another thing).
However putting it as bluntly as you did might not help in getting your point across, and that’s a shame as it is actually an interesting area for discussion.
