The bottom-left one for Feminists doesn’t fit. The others are things that were created by their own group, for example, the KKK was created by Christians. That Feminist meme, on the other hand, wasn’t created by feminists but by someone else to mock them.

    And the "keep calm and hate god" was clearly created by a theist, not an atheist

    TBF I think it'd be risky to use legit examples for that panel

    The best example of an asshole atheist they could find was one making a shitty anti-theist meme, meanwhile the examples of asshole Christians and Muslims are violent

    CCP and USSR stamped out religious practice, but go off.

    As an Atheist myself, don't delude yourself into thinking religion is unique in its capacity for horrors. Humans have that capacity, any group we make would also have that capacity.

    well you can find them on social media hating on women instead. a lot of early atheist youtubers went on to become gamergaters.

    or look at a popular one like Dawkins who is busy being a transphobe nowadays. imagine being an atheist and wasting the remainder of your precious and only life trying to make the precious and only life of the most marginalized people in society even worse.

    or sam harris who literally defended torture.

    Still. Putting Dawkins up against the KKK is a reach.

    each of them doing what they're capable of. the kkk used to have a lot of power. dawkins is just a misogynistic, transphobic nerd. it's all circumstance. full time hating can lead to a lot of places. for bitches like him it's mostly trying to get others to do the dirty work.

    No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don't think exists?

    The correct word would be "antitheist"

    I guess you can hate god as a concept. God can be proven to exists in human minds (no esoteric stuff, just psychology and sociology). You can hate this scientific fact and what it means for humankind.

    Tbf, you can think god isn't "real" while also hating the concept of "god" for being responsible for so much war and division throughout history (among other reasons.)

    Well in that case, if a religious person accuses you that you hate their god, it's still not true. Because that religious person thinks of their god as a real entity, while you hate their concept of god. The target of that hate is not the same.

    American war propaganda poster for illustrating feminism, that's certainly a choice

    ITT people missing the point and projecting their own beliefs and values.

    This is how people "strawman". It's easy to hate on atheists if you just see them all as their asshole members. The truth is that any group has their violent nutjobs and vocal minorities. You can't just say all Muslims are terrorists just the same as you can't say feminists are hateful crazies.

    As much as I resent religion, I do believe it's fundamentally a human problem. People everywhere have a tendency to corrupt beliefs in order to justify being assholes to one another.

    Terrible implementation of a decent idea, try again

    There are in fact assholes of every stripe and it is good to be aware of those within your own "camps"

    Prefer the Norman Rockwell version of Rosie the Riviter:

    The Norman Rockwell Museum are cowards. The photo crops out the bottom, where she's using Mein Kampf as a footstool.

    The Christian one should be a missionary actually helping people. Christian faith that only exists in church is a false faith

    And 'assholes' just appear at random? Nothing in these groups increases or decreases the asshole frequency? Imagine if we thought of all culture that way. Forget about progressive politics changing people's minds and thereby their behavior. "Some people are just 'assholes', what are you gonna do?"
