Study is done by "TheFire.org," which is described as a competitor to the ACLU.
I know... why do we need a competitor to the ACLU?
Well, per Wikipedia: "FIRE has been described as a competitor of the ACLU. In 2021, the organization had an annual revenue of $16.1 million. FIRE has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute."
Oh Charles Koch, you scoundrel.
If this graph isn't just made up bs in the first place, one thought I recall from every major college campus I've been to is random religious preachers camped out every day telling everyone they're evil, subhuman, and going to hell. Guessing the atheists find that a little more annoying and worthy of shouting back at than some of the religiously inclined.
The questioning is stupid. There is no nuance on the categorisation of frequency because "always" and "sometimes" are put together. They do not mean the same thing! "Always" means "all the time", "sometimes" means "on occasions". I am an advocate for free speech as much as the next person, but there is limit to that right because history has shown what can happen if free speech is absolute-- which led us the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide. Therefore, "sometimes" you COULD shout down someone depending on the content being spouted. So, on a case by case basis, "on occasions" you could shout down someone.
As another poster pointed out, the company who made the survey is conducted by conservative group, FIRE, which is Koch-funded so obviously there is clear bias and dishonesty in the framing of the survey.
Wait what's the difference between Atheist, No response, and Nothing?
Also why is there a generic Christian but then also Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox? But then they just Muslim and not it's different denominations? Why even have different denominations when you have the generic catch all and the Other category?
This graph categorization makes no sense!
Personally, I didn't stop believing because of the intolerances. I stopped believing because it was an obvious ancient attempt to control people that worked to various degrees but still has the dumb shit people thought was plausible back when they didn't understand much and didn't think there was any way to disprove their claims.
Good lord this man is stupid
The word woke lost all meaning due to far-right wingers constantly using it as a catch-all term for everything they don't like.
Also, I love how they made it so the top 3 bad guys are atheists, agnostics (which are pretty much the same thing) and the jewish. They're not even trying to be covert with propaganda.

Who the fuck knows. Stupid shit like this that barely even makes sense is why Elron is famed for being an incredibly pretentious but dim tool.
I thought the point of Atheism was to escape the alleged intolerant nature of religion.
No. Atheism has no point. It's merely the default, catch-all, left-over position. Anyone who isn't convinced any religion's gods are real, becomes an atheist automatically, simply for a lack of any other option.
The Jedi and Sith, are both atheist.
TIL that >70% of christians/mormons/other-santa-for-adults-cults would not try to get rid of hatepreachers on campus. Wow. Bleak.
The speaker in question? Some right wing Christian lunatic!
"Ree my free speech"
How is being atheist and being woke even related? Is it one of those “god hate gays”?
Wow so he actually talks like that
Seems to me that I should follow the religion of Nothing or No response. Because we all know that this a BS bar chart.
Why are you intolerant against my intolerance
Aww, did someone get peer reviewed?
Holy meaningless buzzwords batman
Some replace various religions with a worship of money. Usually they are better at managing it. How much has the 'X' formerly known as Twitter lost, btw?
Just try and ignore anything this antagonistic fool/troll says and your life will be better off.

We are not censorious. We are just tired of hearing the same predatory bullshit over and over again.
I think most would cite something like the paradox of intolerance - you need a bit of intolerance of intolerance to sustain any tolerance.
I bet the Christian stat would have been higher in the past too, when they were on the front foot and the controversial speaker was less likely to be someone they agreed with.
No, the question is "Why aren't they worshipping ME."
Religion is just a very common form of mental illness.
If "woke" hadn't become a political buzzword, would Elon have said what that refrain used to be? As in, would he also have said that atheists just replaced god with the worship of science? Absolute stupidity and smooth brainery regardless
I shout at people all day everyday and they still talk to me

I mean, it's been proven that humans have a psychological need for religion, but....
Wokeness? A religion?
Eh at worst you have companies overcompensating to avoid seeming racist or sexist... and you have tankies taking it too far and claiming everything is imperialist bullshit, but that's hardly a new phenomenon... Hippies of yesteryear did similar.
But again, worst case scenarios.
There's nothing wrong with saying "Maybe you shouldn't speak here, or, anywhere really?" if a guy is literally going to Colleges to give seminars on how "Hitler did nothing wrong, and maybe transpeople, and not the constantly crashing economy and the blatant failure of trickle down... are to blame for all of your problems."
I remember when being "Woke" had positive connotations, but the Right Wing ruins everything.
FIRE files lawsuits against colleges and universities that it perceives as curtailing First Amendment rights of students and professors. FIRE has been described as a competitor of the ACLU. In 2021, the organization had an annual revenue of $16.1 million. ...
FIRE has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Individual_Rights_and_ExpressionStill, a lot of the cases they fight for seem to be all over the political spectrum.
Dogmatic worldviews don't need to be theistic
"Atheism" has been appropriated by people with a grudge against religion who wants to destroy it at all costs, and convert all practitionerd of religion to atheism. So, armchair crusaders.
