Prominently featured on Reddit.com's front page, and nearing a million subscribers, r/atheism is essentially an anti-Christian hate site that would be declared “racist” and “anti-Semitic” if the posts were about Jews

Reddit.com promotes itself “the front page of the Internet,” and indeed, it is one of the most visited sites on the Web. As of this writing, Alexa has ranked it as the Internet’s 53rd most visited site in the U.S., and the 121st most visited site globally, and its popularity appears to be rapidly growing.
Anyone who first comes to Reddit.com sees a banner running across the top of their page featuring various “sub-reddits” (subject matters) for them to choose from. If they have an account and log in, the subreddits change to those subjects they have selected to form their own personalized front page. But if they are not logged in, the banner running across the top of Reddit’s front page stays the same.
One of the subreddits featured on the top page banner is r/Atheism. Thus, millions of people every day are automatically “subscribed” to r/atheism until they establish and log in to their own accounts, and choose their own subreddits.
And with over 850,000 "godless redditors" (as members who have formally subscribed to r/atheism dub themselves) clearly r/atheism enjoys a tremendous promotional advantage over the hundreds of other subreddits available in attracting the attention of potential subscribers by being featured on Reddit.com's front page and as an automatic default reddit.
In theory, atheism is “the doctrine or belief that there is no God.”
In practice, at least on Reddit's r/atheism, it is the vicious and relentless ridicule, mockery, and smearing of Jesus, Christian people, the Church, organized Christianity, and all of Christendom in general...which is fine. In a freedom of speech-based democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and perspective on politics and religion.
However, given that tens of millions of Christian clergy, ruling class, “bourgeoisie,” dissidents, and simple peasants were murdered and persecuted by Soviet Communism, (which was an explicitly anti-Christian ideology, and given that perhaps hundreds of millions have been murdered worldwide by atheistic Communism, how fair is it for Reddit to essentially herd millions of its readers straight towards r/atheism by making it a default subreddit on the one hand, and yet for reddit moderators to complain about "hate" on the other hand?
In fact, reddit moderators regularly issue statements condemning the kind of bigotry that Reddit.com actually endorses on its front page via r/atheism, like this one recently posted in the popular subreddit r/videos:
A statement from the /r/videos mods regarding racist comments
Over the past few weeks we've noticed a surge in the amount of racist material posted here, to the point where we are considering a change in policy to address it. We suspect that one or more racist/troll organizations may be specifically targeting us (and possibly Reddit as a whole), with members systematically posting both explicitly and subtly prejudiced comments.
We would prefer not to have to intervene and take an official stance to censor comments, so we're asking the community to please be mindful and to respond appropriately to any such hurtful content. Thank you.
And imagine the hue and cry if Reddit prominently featured one of its anti-Jewish sites on the front page, and herded millions of readers there. Charges of “racism” and “anti-Semitism” would undoubtedly fly.
And yet, don't critics have just as much right to mock and smear Jewish icons, Jewish people, the Synagogue, organized Judaism, and all of Jewry in general as r/atheism has the right to mock and smear Christians, and as Reddit.com corporate hierarchy has the right to encourage such mockery?
Of all of the hundreds of subreddits available for default status, there has to be some reason the hierarchy of Reddit keeps the virulently anti-Christian r/atheism as a default subreddit.
Given the strong Trotskyite neoliberal Zionist identification with Marxism, and the fact that "atheist" Soviet Communism was initially a conflation of Leninism and Trotskyism, which outlawed Christianity and made “anti-Semitism” punishable by death, is it possible that Reddit readers are being manipulated by a neoliberal/Zionist agenda of the corporate behemoth Advance Publications, which owns Reddit and itself is principally owned by the Jewish Newhouse family?
In fact, such a scenario is highly likely.
This is not a call for censorship, but rather for Christians, paleocons, patriots, populists, libertarians, anti-war advocates, pro-sovereignty nationalists, family advocates etc. to "take off the gloves" and start playing by the same rules of free speech that their opposition plays by, and to engage in the kind of polemics that the gaggle of militant Jews, Marxists, neoliberals, radical feminists and angry homosexual activists, etc. over at r/atheism routinely engage in, in order to counter and balance out the anti-Christian hate being preached there with increasing ferocity.
Additionally, since the anti-Christian r/atheism is featured on Reddit’s front page, there needs to be an opposing forum also included on the front page to expose readers to that perspective, as well, in order to balance out what appears to be the warmongering Marxist-Zionist agenda behind featuring the anti-Christian r/atheism on Reddit.com's front page.
Reddit is all about free speech and should remain that way. Soviet holocaust or not, Nazi Holocaust or not, declaring oneself a member of some religious sect, tribe or "protected class" is not a license for immunity from debate, criticism, and even harsh condemnation.
Christians and their partisans should no longer stand there and be beaten black and blue by the militant coalition of the bitter and angry over at r/atheism, and its relentless preaching of genocidal hate, mockery and condemnation (the same kind of rhetoric, which when directed at them, they declare "hate speech") without giving as good as they receive -- particularly since so many of these r/atheism useful idiots are being manipulated by neocon, neoliberal and Zionist operatives to perpetuate the wars of aggression they originated under their right-wing useful idiot Bush in order to set up a Big Brother police state both at home and abroad.

Yeah, and the 80 billion christian churches on every street corner in the USA are essentially anti-satan hate sites.
Praise the lord satan.

I can't really stand /r/atheism myself, but this is definitely no conspiracy. That subreddit consists mostly of high school/college aged kids that have grown up being told non-believers will burn in hell. They hold a tremendous grudge against their families and neighbors who have made them feel like scum. The only reason it's anti-Christian leaning is Christianity tends to be the only religion that is so massively hostile towards atheism. Judaism is mostly indifferent, considering all non-Jews to be one in the same. I'm disgusted by /r/atheism as much as the next guy, especially as an atheist myself, but there's absolutely nothing sinister going on. Most of these kids will grow out of it a few years and the ones that don't will go on to live massively depressing lives.

Virtually no one in America has grown up being told that non-believers will burn in hell for at least the past 100 years.

How ignorant are you? It's the official belief of tens if not hundreds of millions of Americans.
-1 Occidentalist 2012-06-17
It may be an 'official' belief of 10 -20 million peole, but it is an actual belief held by far fewer people than that. People don't always believe what they claim to believe.

How do you know this? Where did you get those numbers from?

In the past year alone I've met thirty people who believe just that.

I'm guessing you live in one of the more populated areas where people mostly keep their beliefs to themselves.

r/atheism needs to be more like r/mylittlepony and stop acting like know everything assholes.

i subscribe to /r/atheism but i do not call myself a "godless redditor".

r/atheism should be retitled "r/antichristianity"
Submit something criticizing the Jewish religion and it is buried.

I feel the atheists in r/atheism should look into secular humanism, I feel it would really take the idea of evil out of religious people's thoughts on atheists in the first place.

Not really, I am an equal opportunity offender. Im an Atheist. It means I do not believe in god(s). This would pretty much cover all religions but I am flattered that you think we are singling you (christianity) out.

Well said.

To make fun of any religion but Jews, feel free to do so anywhere.
To make fun of Jews, first you have to admit that you're going to hell for doing so. r/imgoingtohellforthis is the only place I have seen Jew mocking.

It is quite telling that that r/atheism relentlessly attacks Christianity and Islam, but rarely touches on Judaism and Zionism. We have been involved in conflicts in the Middle East for over 20 years largely due to the power of the Jewish elite in the USA. R/atheism reads more like a Jewish tribal tool of subversion and subterfuge.

You do realize that most of the western world is or was majority Christian, right? There are only a few million religious Jews, and over 1 billion Catholics alone. Never mind the Protestants and the over 1 billion Muslims. Also, /r/atheism is pretty Amero-centric, and their day to day lives are most affected by, you guessed it, Christianity. Mocking and criticizing Judaism wouldn't be met with an outcry of "anti-semitism" in /r/atheism. Mocking and criticizing the Jewish people as a whole (with the exception of the fact that many Jews believe in Judaism), as you and the OP often do, would rightfully be deemed "anti-semitic".

You make good points. You are correct, atheism is largely devoted to attacking and mocking Christianity. Atheists don't seem to spend much time mocking Judaism. I wonder why?
Oops, no I don't. I know why -- because Christians are the only religious group on the planet that is freely attacked, defamed, insulted, degraded, and mocked without any objection being raised, and without any negative consequences.
What atheists (and others, such as Jews) say about Christianity wouldn't be permitted to be said about any other religion.
Christianity is being deliberately targeted and attacked by the mass media in the United States, and this attack has been going on for decades. Atheism is just one weapon of this attack. The ultimate goal of those who control the media ... the destruction of Christianity.
I should add, I am not a practicing Christian. I'm not saying this out of any slavish devotion to any religious creed. I say it because it is true, and because I can be objective enough to see what is going on, and honest enough to state what I see.

I will just copy and paste my reply to bumblingmumbling since it applies to your post:

When Christians in America aren't trying to turn the country into some type of Theocracy, then I'll turn more of my attention to other religions. Also: Christians: 80% of the US Population, 90% of the Prison Population Atheist/Non-Religious: 10% of the US Population, but only .023% of the Prison Population.
