[Q/Request] Atheism Megathread?

[United States of Conner]

So, seeing as we have a Christianity Megathread, an Islam Megathread, a Judiasm Megathread (?), I thought it would make sense to have an Atheism Megathread. For discussions of how one became an atheist, a poster's experience with atheism (whether religious or not), discussing the different types or sects, if you will, of atheism, that type of thing. It'll be fun! I have an OP typed up and everything.

My apologies if there already is one, I just haven't ever seen anything. A quick search for a title with 'atheism Megathread' revealed nothing,

We tend to make megathreads when there is a preponderance of similarly-themed threads on the first few pages of the forum. It's not an attempt to be fair to all possible viewpoints. Unless there's a problem with an over-abundance of atheism threads, we don't need a megathread.

Huh. I thought it seemed like a good way to foster more conversation. A lot of talk on this subject seems to not be so thread-worthy all by itself. That might wind up creating more discussion about a topic that might otherwise be overlooked.

Regardless, mod's call. Just thought it might be a good idea.

A search of General topic titles shows 77 matches to "atheism" and 72 matches to "atheist", some of which are quite extensive. It's not a new topic here, nor one that has been ignored. You should look over some of that content before deciding it hasn't been properly addressed.


FWIW, that's a fairly low count for common topic titles, (i.e. 171 "abortion" thread titles). It's a popular topic, but not that popular.

Alright. Thanks.

Also, dibs on making that megathread if we need it.

There was one last year. It just didn't last long.
