→Atheist trolls, atheists and abnormal psychological makeups
:"In two online studies (total N = 1215), respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles. Overall, strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the measures. Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and [[Machiavellianism]], using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886914000324 ''Trolls just want to have fun''], ''Personality and Individual Differences'', Volume 67, September 2014, Pages 97-102]</ref>

Internet trolling has also been associated with narcissism.<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563217305034 Who do you troll and Why: An investigation into the relationship between the Dark Triad Personalities and online trolling behaviours towards popular and less popular Facebook profiles] by Barbara Lopes,''Computers in Human Behavior'', Volume 77, December 2017, Pages 69-76</ref>
A study found that the public views atheists as being more narcissistic - especially male atheists (see: [[Atheism and narcissism#Study: General public believes atheists are more narcissistic|Study: General public believes atheists are more narcissistic]]).
