Atheists, there’s 8 billion people in the world. Not everyone is going to share your thoughts on religion, movies, music, food, or tattoos, etc.

Why can’t you see a post or comment about religion and say to yourself, “Oh, this is not for or about me” and then just move on to another post? What is the incessant compulsion to comment?

EDIT:

There sure is a lot of ultra-triggered atheists in here!

No one is answering my question:

    This is a rather common phenomenon where one person feels enlightened and as such has to share it with everyone else. Be it people who feel very strong about veganism, nuclear power, different systems of measurement, voting, certain music genres, anything really. It’s usually not something bad but can be annoying. For most people it’s a normal response to learning something new, but it can be a reinforcing circle if a lot of people gather in one bubble and share new “facts” about the topic, that’s when you suddenly have swathes of people preaching about their favourite topic.

        I am going to assume you mean people who think they know it all on that topic and everyone who lives a different lifestyle is somehow misled. But good sir/ma’am/honored person: Your ratio surpasses even mine. That definitely makes for an unpopular opinion.

      I completely agree. You might get excited about the idea that God doesn’t like abortion, but screaming about it in front of a clinic isn’t appropriate.

        Somewhat more extreme than what I meant. Really, when people actively harm others this very much goes beyond the scope of this unpopular take. I meant it more as a “parading your new favourite music” or whenever someone advocates for some kind of alternate calender. People that are very strict on their vegan lifestyle. You know, harmless stuff.
