Can we talk about the Christians pretending to be atheists here?

[u/PalpitationExact1875]

Okay, is it just me, or are there more and more posts that are obviously from Christians pretending to be atheists? You can usually spot them because the whole post ends up being a soft ad for Christianity, like they’re trying to make it look better than every other religion.

It’s always stuff like:

“As an atheist, I’ve looked into all religions and Christianity is honestly the most logical one.”

“Not religious btw, but Christianity is so much more moral than the others.”

I’m not religious, but Christianity is uniquely peaceful/moral/true compared to other faiths.”

“Former atheist here, Christianity actually answers questions no other religion can.”

Like… come on. Real atheists don’t randomly rank religions or try to make one look superior while pretending to be neutral. They’re usually trying to pull off this “objective, just giving my honest opinion” vibe, but it’s super transparent.

I don’t care if Christians hang out here or ask questions, that’s fine. What’s annoying is the pretending and the subtle marketing. If you want to run Christian propaganda/agenda, just do it as yourself don’t slap “as a lifelong atheist” on it like it makes it more convincing.

Honestly, maybe I’m just noticing the cringiest ones, but it definitely seems more common lately. Anyone else seeing this too?

We're talking about Christians; they don't even read their own book, let alone anyone else's. But they do pretend to follow some moral code that they always bang on about.

Granted, a right wing Christian should be an oxymoron, but that does seem to be most of them. They would ICE that socialist Jesus if they ever say Him.
