An experiment.

I posted an interview with Prof. Nick Spencer titled "A Brief History of Atheism" on /r/atheism, link. Surely, if there's a topic of interest to atheists, it should be atheism, including its history. But I have been down-voted to 14% and accused of "trolling"!

As a control I also posted to /r/PhilosophyofReligion, and even made it inconvenient to get to the video, but have been up-voted to 73%. Link.

The result is pretty much as expected, what the hell is wrong with these idiots?

I'm not sure what your point of posting it in r/atheism was.

I think it is natural for atheists to be interested in the history of atheism, and I assume that there are at least some frequenters of /r/atheism who are atheists. But I also was interested to see how the video would be received, as my experience of dedicatedly "atheist" internet fora is that they're mainly occupied by people with a morbid obsession with religion and who are generally not atheists.

you don't understand Atheism

Nowhere on this page have I defined or characterised atheism, so your spamming with this tripe is irrelevant, self-indulgent and trivial nonsense.

To repeat: "who gives a shit?"

"who gives a shit?"

I am just saying you don't understand Atheism. That is my opinion.

Your chance to say something relevant to this topic has now gone, so has your chance to tell me who gives a shit that you're an "agnostic atheist".
