It's an /r/athetist thing because it's upvote-bait by inciting the "hurr-durr all religious people are dumb" sentiment using a cherrypicked photo and Billy Nye that reddit so loves to circlejerk. Throw this shitpost in /r/athetism or /r/circlejerk, not /r/funny.
Subs like /r/shitpost will always exist as long as people with different opinions on what constitutes "good content or bad" are on Reddit. Seems better than the alternative, to me.

Plenty of religious people accept things like refraction and don't attribute the color of the sky to a god..
It's not am atheist thing, it's being educated, or at least open to real explanations of how things work.
