Everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder. They lash out in the threads and call people nasty names, etc. I rarely hear anyone express any hope for the world or the future. Its like "the world stinks, people are rotten, and if there's a God he'll have to explain why everything is so screwed up."

You do have a point, but as someone who frequents several forums based on interest in religion this generally isn't unique to Athiests.

Some christian forums tend to take more of a passive aggressive stance and accuse everyone not in their little clique of being morally degenerate, persecuting them or just generally being inferior and destined for hell.

An emphasis on "the death culture" and other negative aspects of society are just as bigger deal on there, the only difference is they generally do it with less swearing and more "you must just hate god, apologise"
