It's ironic that you're saying this when just a few days ago people were complaining about the lack of criticism towards Islam.
It's probably due to the fact that some people who criticized Islam on these posts are brigaded by downvotes in their comment history. Basically a fuck you to these zealots who think we give a fuck about their religion.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of it is coming off the news of the suicide bombing that was carried out by IS in Pakistan. But another part of it could be that one post got popular and so you will see posts following the trends.
On an atheism community you can't expect people to only post about one religion. Maybe something you can do to tie it to your experiences is try and connect the commonalities that tend to infect all major religions. I think its interesting finding those foundational aspects of many mainstream religions and seeing how they use similar tactics and controlling techniques amongst their congregants.
A person who is raised in one version of a restrictive Abrahamic religion is upset their online space to vent about it is also visited by people who are raised in another version of a restrictive Abrahamic religion who want to vet about their experience as well.
Rather than see them as cousins with the same issue, they see them as the other, not realising they are repeating the indoctrination of the religion they claim to have left behind.
So you're saying that there's people here that were raised in muslim dominated societies and are posting the anti muslim posts? I wouldn't have any issue with that. But so far in this thread nobody said this was their experience.
So I still believe that it's people who were raised like me posting the anti muslim memes.
Ffs you do not need to have personally suffered to point out problems. I wasn't raised in an Islamic tradition either that doesn't mean I can't yell about it.
Here's my hypothesis. People have little contact to Muslims and the way Islam is being usually practiced. Thus people's opinion of Islam is heavily influenced by the worst shit and stereotypes. With Christianity most people have friends or relatives that are "moderate" christians or whatever. So the worst versions of Christianity are less present.
Islam just gets treated with kiddie gloves alot of the time, so when there's a platform that enables proper criticism of Islam people take the opportunity to vent.
No worries! I’m thankfully not born a Muslim. But I know countless closeted atheists here who are angry because they are forced to be Muslims in public. It’s a good thing that the Fediverse gives them the rare space to express themselves!
