"For what it’s worth, I don’t like Bitch Lab, I don’t read her, I don’t think she’s very bright, and I think the main thing she piggybacked on recently was a comment thread to a post she didn’t author. Nice appropriation, that. ... Don’t like Bitch Lab? Join the club, and don’t read her. Read the women she rips off instead. They’re better." - Ilyka Damen

somehow I’m not surprised. I’m agnostic myself (tending towards atheism), and I’ve had people say rude things when they’ve found out.
L,
I am surprised that atheists were perceived as more threatening than Muslisms. Part of me isn’t though. It’s weird. It’s not like a grew up in some community like San Francisco, but the idea that atheism or agnosticism was horrible was not something I remember thinking as a kid. Growing up in the 70s, there was a lot of people criticizing religion and religious orthodoxy, even in a small town.
So, when I was teaching my first class as a grad student, I mentioned something about not believing in god — I hadn’t yet read criticisms of that position, so that’s how I framed it. The students in my class gasped in shock, as if I’d said, “Fuck the Prezdinet with a dried corn cob!”
I was taken aback because I was teaching really privileged kids who came from elite surburbs in the Northeast — the very stereotype of the places where Blue State Liberal Humanism is supposed to reside. Shortly after that, I read that something like 90% of all USers believe in god and I thought, “d’oh! I bought into the stereotypes of who believes and who doesn’t.” (Since, as we saw last election, it’s not just enough to be a Christian in this country, you have to be a certain kind for anyone to believe you really ARE a Christian.)
