So I guess by your logic it's fair to say Islam is terroristic. Obviously distinguishing between the broader Islamic community and boko haram or al qaeda is just semantics.
Yeah surely broader islamic community congregated in millions on social media and forums between 2006 and 2016, mainly in western countries, mainly appealing to young disenfranchised men. To don't know the context, you either got on to the internet in 2020's or somehow, for 20 fucking years did not encounter an atheist from this batch, either irl or online. Or you're deliberately bullshitting.
Your false dichotomy of every atheist is either a white supremacist or a communist is still completely batshit even if some fraction of new atheists fell into the far right pipeline.
Some new atheists went on to become fascist does not mean every person who followed r/atheism in 2010 is now a white supremacist or a communist, that's fucking insane.
