Why are there so many atheists on YouTube?

Answer 1

On the internet it isn't hard to come across an atheist and spotting them isn't hard either. So the question is why does there seem to be a great amount of atheists on the internet and on sites like YouTube, Reddit and other social networks and forums?

The answer is quite simple really. Atheism isn't growing as atheists would love to believe (it's still a small minority and thank God for that!) rather the internet serves as a gathering place for these atheists and because they're so small in numbers they try to make themselves seem large by being more outspoken.

Atheism, regardless of what the atheist says, is a religious belief. If it isn't and I'm wrong in comparing it to such then the extremist atheist has certainly made it into a religious belief due their fanatical devotion to it. Some atheists love to express the fact that they're atheist by using the word in their username on forums or by following atheist speakers such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris and creating tributes to them on Facebook and YouTube.
