Religion gets a LOT of hate on the internet

I don't know what country you're in, but only 5% of U.S. citizens self-identify as atheists. They may be overrepresented in areas you hang out (academia, fandom) but I don't buy into the argument that religious people are persecuted or in the minority, even online.

Going online means you will encounter people who disagree, sometimes vociferously or rudely, with your point of view. If you're used to a religious bubble, this can be shocking and disturbing, but the onus isn't on other people to silence their opinions because they make you uncomfortable.

(And I'm not sure what you mean that "the only time it can be discussed is in fiction." You can discuss whatever you want whenever you want.

"but the onus isn't on other people to silence their opinions because they make you uncomfortable."

Yeah, this. I mean, I don't excuse people who are rude based on their non-religious/religious beliefs, but it seems a bit naive to expect a whole group of people to behave as a polite monolith when literally EVERY OTHER GROUP in history has never managed to do that. And the hard fact is that people being rude on the internet isn't actually equivalent to what religious organizations have been able to pull off in real life.
