I'm just wondering this. Before I got on Reddit, and before I heard anything about atheism (about 6 months ago) I was just fine with religion. I mean, I didn't believe in God since I was a young kid and thought it was all rather silly already, but it didn't bother me in the slightest. I'm not raised in a very strict biblical family or anything and my parents aren't religious either.

In short, it never bothered me. Yet now, i've been visiting r/atheism more, as it also hits the front page, it's kinda hard to dodge. I find myself becoming against religion. Simply because of the posts I see on here and how ridiculous some beliefs sound, but also the mocking undertone it has towards religion in general.

The thing is...it makes sense. Of course. Religion is a silly thing and we'd be better off without. My point is just that seeing so much of this, within a couple months I've began to get annoyed at anything religious I see. Before I simply accepted it, now because of the frontpage showing a lot of /atheism posts, I reject religion and it leaves a scary after taste. I'm lucky to be raised in a rather atheist enviorment, but everytime I hear or see someone who believes in God or anything related (who is not elderly and grew up with it for their entire old life) I see them as a bit crazy.

My point is that I don't like it. Honestly. I think it's a bad character trait. Yeah, of course I can choose not to read it, but I did read it because it was on the frontpage and had no idea how to unsubscribe from subreddits. What I don't like is that before I couldn't care less, but now because of so many (rightfully just) opinions, I feel irritated and against religion.

I can logically imagine more people get like this seeing r/atheism posts. I personally don't like this change in me, everytime I see or hear about religion. I can imagine it might be like this for other people as well. What is your opinion on this?

TL;DR I feel a little 'indoctrinated' by atheism, which is rather ironic. I agree with most of the things posted here, i'm just trying to get an objective viewpoint on this all.
