    Sounds like an Atheist trying to shove his/her disbelief down reader's throats. The way these people act, Atheism is basically a religion, they've become the thing they hate and it cracks me up. I don't believe in a one true God, but I don't subscribe to the lunacy that Atheism prescribes where you have to bash every other religion to feel good.

      First off, you don't need to capitalize atheism or atheist. It's not a proper noun. Second, this kind of stereotyping of atheists is a large part of the reason I'm on Snapzu as opposed to other websites. I'm sorry if you've had bad experiences with some vocal atheists, but you seem to have a real axe to grind against the rest of us, for no good reason that I'm aware of. Generalizing all of us based on your bad experience with a few is no different than the very behavior you're complaining about.

        I capitalized because I consider Atheism a religious belief, just like you would do for Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism, etc. And yes, I'm not a fan of how they act, everyone I've ran into has had a grudge against any religion, then you get online and there's entire forums of people circle-jerking bashing other religions, seems to me Atheism is the religious belief to discredit other's beliefs and it's the sole purpose of it's existence.

        Also, me voicing my opinion about their actions isn't anything remotely the same, I would voice the same opinion no matter what religion.

        Like I said, I don't believe it any one true God, I'm more of a neutral agnostic, if anything.

          Atheism isn't a belief though. It's the lack of a belief in deities.

          get online and there's entire forums of people circle-jerking bashing other religions,

          And I can find online communities of Christians dedicated to bashing homosexuals. I try not to judge entire groups by their most annoying members.

          Atheism is the religious belief to discredit other's beliefs and it's the sole purpose of it's existence.

          Then you have a poor understanding of atheism. I'd be glad to help you correct that if you have any questions!

          Also, me voicing my opinion about their actions isn't anything remotely the same, I would voice the same opinion no matter what religion.

          It is. It's no more valid than saying "All Christians hate homosexuals" or "All Muslims are terrorists". You're not criticizing the group. You're criticizing a strawman stereotype that you've created.

          Like I said, I don't believe it any one true God, I'm more of a neutral agnostic, if anything.

          I'm an agnostic, also. The terms agnostic and atheist aren't mutually exclusive.

      TIL that calling out someone's motives for their misbehavior constitutes "bashing every other religion to feel good."

        Given her demeanor, it should not be surprising that Johnson is yet another unapologetic and obnoxious Christian

        Forget about white privilege, what about Christian privilege?

        It's fine to point out their motivation for their action, but they way they are doing it is classless and just as bad as what the person they're calling out did (in my opinion).

        Plus, another line I just noticed which throws me for a loop:

        On Twitter, Johnson uses the handle LSF Thot (@rissaoftheway) and describes herself as a “Radical Christian Mullatanist.” It is not clear what is meant by “Mullatanist” although some have connected the term with “white genocide.”

        While I don't think there are many things with the preface 'Radical' that are good, how are they connecting "Mullantanist" with "White Genocide?" They don't provide any sources for this and I couldn't find anything with a couple quick searches (I mostly just got results that were articles about this person).
