This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

33% have a college degree yet only 3% are atheist. That's batshit crazy. I can't imagine having the critical thinking skills needed for a degree and not using those skills to figure out that god is a fairy tale.
Yes I know lots of educated people are religious - I had several christian professors when I was studying mathematics / computer science. That doesn't make it any less crazy to me.
You shouldn't use "god" as a proper noun. No one being owns the concept of being a god. You're just legitimising Abrahamism, you're not helping the atheist cause. Helping Abrahamists erase polytheism doesn't lead to more atheism, it leads to more Abrahamists.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I have god, not God. I know because I was typing on my phone and it autocorrected to God three times and I had to go back and fix it.
It should say "gods are a fairy tale". "god is a fairy tale" is misleading grammar if you don't mean there's one. You wouldn't say "gremlin is a fairy tale", you'd say "gremlins are a fairy tale".
