Is atheism so threatening to your beliefs that the only way you can handle it is by strawmanning?

>When objectively erroneous beliefs are used as a basis of public policy, or to establish social norms
This'll be good. What objectively correct beliefs do you have that guide your opinion on what policy is good for society?

>after this, a flood of replies
I have a theory that 2 replies is the threshold for shit threads to get started. When people see bait this low effort and it has no replies, they don't really want to reply. They know it's a terrible thread and hope it will just slide off the board. But each post makes it more and more tempting. Just seeing that a thread has more replies makes it more enticing to click on it. There's more to respond to and less of a feeling that you're contributing to the problem because your post is just a drop in the bucket. And in my experience, two posts is what it takes to get the ball rolling. It helps if they're original of course, but I've noticed that even if the first few replies are just OP blatantly bumping his own thread, it'll usually take off after two replies.

>I think it's pretty obvious that they're wrong because clearly they use their atheism as a way of validating their identity as an intellectual person who is above the hoi polloi.
What does that have to do with them being wrong though? You just sound like you're insecure about your beliefs.

>What does that have to do with them being wrong
Anyone who maintains a position because it makes them feel good about themselves is wrong.

The existence of unicorns is impossible to prove or disprove, therefore people who don't believe in unicorns are wrong?

The existence of dark matter is impossible to prove or disprove, therefore people who don't believe in dark matter are wrong?

The existence of self awareness is impossible to prove or disprove, therefore people who don't believe in self awareness are wrong?
