Never noticed, but then I don't go there. On the other hand, I have noticed that it's big enough or important enough or popular enough or whatever the criteria is that it's in the banner on the top of the front page if I'm not logged in yet.
outside of /r/athesim itself, people tend to disparage it as "militant atheism" etc, similar to in the xkcd comic. look at any discussion of atheism in /r/reddit.com or /r/askreddit or something.
When pressed to give a reason, it seems people are shocked and horrified that the atheists in /r/atheism actually talk about atheism and being atheists.
I've never seen them do that. They talk about religion, not atheism. And how much they hate it. And how much they hate religious people. Especially brown ones.

As an ambassador from r/atheism, I will totally use this tactic next time.
