Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

A 2017 study found that people believe atheists are more likely to be serial killers than believers, even though federal data suggests they are far less likely to commit crimes than religious people.

Hmm.

One group uses the threat of eternal damnation to compel moral behaviour, the other has no external compulsion*.

Which group is likely to have more "good" members?

* Yeah, laws? Social etiquette?

i think this probably has more to do with serial killers having disregard for shit in general, than atheists having disregard for religion.

Statistically it checks out that someone who doesn't care about torture, murder, and violence, probably gives even less of a shit about religion lol.
