You realize r/christianity has 35,000 members and r/atheism has 878,000, right? Don't pretend you're the victims.

Fun fact: all new accounts are subscribed to r/atheism by default. This means that every novelty account, throwaway account, and accounts that didn't bother unsubscribing is a member of this subreddit.

Exactly how we feel in every other context everyday.

I was an atheist for 9 years and never felt "outnumbered" or anything. There are dumb fundamentalist Christians of course, and I despise them just as much post-conversion as pre-conversion. If anything I'm outnumbered (as an Episcopalian) among my friends at college, who are probably 80% atheists (at a southern state university).

It wouldn't be r/christianity, it would be the r/circlejerk crew.

Circlejerk downvotes things that are circlejerky. They have no religious affiliation. They come here for the people, not for the people's beliefs.

r/christianity has been nothing but polite to me, with a rare few exceptions who tend to get downvoted into Limbo.

did you ever go onto r/Christianity? The majority are very against the idea of this.

oh yeah, this board totally gets raided by r/christianity on the weekends.
While I'm here...
"Not sure if bad comment or...(doesn't matter)"
Isn't this the place where everybody always talks about how important it is to think for yourself and be free of the dogmatic beliefs of a religious group? Ironic then that we're all socially pressured to conform to the dogmatic beliefs (and memes (In the "social gene" sense, not the internet sense)) of a non-religious group.

Fun Fact: It isn't necessarily r/christianity, I'm not christian but I find my self down-voting a massive quantity of things in this subreddit because of the demeaning and simply rude ideas people feel they need to spout.

This subreddit dwarfs r/christianity . If you're getting downvoted, odds are it's your own fellow atheists disliking your comment. Also, most of r/christianity doesn't give a shit about this subreddit.
