{{Cquote|Readers familiar with Reddit’s atheism community, r/atheism, may not be surprised to learn that I think it exemplifies many negative aspects of modern atheism—hatred, prejudice, and belief by cultural conformation rather than rational inquiry...
What is troubling for r/atheism in particular is that the tone of this content often reflects pervasive anger, self-righteousness, and a sense of inherent superiority over believers, reinforcing stereotypes already leveled against the broader atheist community. That so many r/atheism members fought to defend this content specifically is an unsettling indication of the values that many who wear the label “atheist” possess. - See more at: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nonprophetstatus/2013/06/07/the-implosion-of-ratheism-what-reddit-can-tell-us-about-building-community/ The implosion of r/atheism: What Reddit can tell us about building community] by Vlad Chituc</ref>}}
