→Reddit atheism and their reluctance to engage in offline atheist activism
Beginning in the 1980s and accelerating in 2011 and beyond, atheism, [[agnosticism]] and [[evolution|Darwinism]] have developed a reputation of cowardice. See: [[Atheism and cowardice]] and [[Creation scientists tend to win the creation vs. evolution debates]] and [[Instances of Richard Dawkins ducking debates]]

[[Reddit atheism]], also known as r/[[atheism]], is one of the largest internet groups of atheists.<ref>[http://mashable.com/2013/06/14/reddit-atheism-mods/ Reddit Atheists Have New Leadership After Turbulent Coup]</ref> See also: [[YouTube atheism]]
A 2016 Reddit post entitled ''Why is everyone mocking atheism all of a sudden?'' declared: "Now making fun of religion gets you labeled as a neckbeard or edgy, when like 2 years ago atheism was the main driving force of reddit?"<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3wsfhd/why_is_everyone_mocking_atheism_all_of_a_sudden/ ''Why is everyone mocking atheism all of a sudden?''], Reddit post</ref>
A member of Reddit responded to the post indicating:
{{Cquote|A few years ago r/atheism had a "faces of atheism" campaign where people submitted pictures of themselves with some comment on atheism on them. It was so embarrassing and cringeworthy that the reddit mods removed r/atheism from the frontpage/main reddits because the reputation of the site itself was being tarnished. Since then, people started combining the (already existing) "fat neckbeard" stereotype with atheism and made parodies of the faces of atheism, like some ugly/underage fedora wearer saying cringe stuff like "intellect is my blade" etc.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3wsfhd/why_is_everyone_mocking_atheism_all_of_a_sudden/ ''Why is everyone mocking atheism all of a sudden?''], Reddit post</ref>}}
