Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Ikrr! I'm not even religious and I've just seen too much hate for religion over here. Not as much as reddit, but plenty
Offering a different viewpoint here: a LOT of people have been directly harmed by religious institutions, which is why there's such a viciously negative reaction at times.
"Reddit Athiest"-type Sky Daddy isn't real, cultist freak stuff isn't helpful, obviously, but a lot of it is knee-jerk hate responses to the concept of spirituality because they or someone they know was genuinely harmed by a church or a religious person at some point, and when this happens it frequently goes unaddressed. I would suggest blocking instead of engaging if it really offends you, as this kind of person usually isn't evil, and getting into arguments won't change any minds.
Oh my, did someone not take your skyfairy story seriously? why didnt your god strike them down with lightning? Maybe you should follow your gods good example and be quiet about your skyfairy legends and how you want to apply them to everyone elses lives. If you want to bow to a fictional story in your own home fine, but dont expect the rest of us listen to your tedious BS about it.
Aww did I make a leetl boi angy??! 🥺😘
This just makes you look stupid.
It’s possible to be an atheist without acting like a 12 year old.
ok and its possible to follow a religion yourself and not bother other people about it ...like you did.
If the entire world would just learn to mind their own effing business unless it directly affects you, we'd be in such a better place. Why exactly are you against this?
Yeah see this is exactly what I was talking about. So much about "don't expect the rest of us to listen to your tedious BS about it".
and whats wrong with that? Do we owe you our ears and attention?
Why? Because religion is such a righteous dignified force in the world?
