"Your whole family is going to burn in hell, heathen."- The reply I got when I proudly stated my entire Family is atheist.

A tad stressed.Such kind venom is unexpected on an erudite and free thinking forum such as r/atheism .

This was my first time posting here and while I welcome constructive criticism such wild hatred is demoralizing.

Please moderators and community as a whole take notice and make this a more civil discussion.

Many people might get discouraged seeing the vitriolic atmosphere such comments create.
