Makes perfect sense.
I have photographic evidence that the last bit is fake

When they bring up that "more faith to be atheist" bit, then just thank them. Remind them that everytime you hear the word "faith" spoken by Christians, that it is something very positive, that everyone should have as much faith as possible, and that they say only the weak lack strong faith.
That Jesus said even a small amount of faith can move a mountain.
Otherwise there is no talking to people like this. They will not accept science or anything else. Just take it as a compliment and move on.

It's more focused on a specific market

No. Reddit, from what I can tell, is a forum based site. Pinterest consists of "pinning" pictures of products or images from sites onto "boards" to create a visual organizer - something like bookmarking things. You may comment on the pins, but it in no way is a forum atmosphere.
I have boards for recipes, for history research, for gardening ideas, for clothes I want to make, or to buy, art tutorials, art/photography inspiration, etc.
What makes it great is a new board can be for general things (all recipes) or you can make one that's specific (crock pot recipes). I have a board for random shit that inspired me in some way...and I have a few boards for themes of my next sets of pin up style photos I'd like to try (coffee/morning themed, mask/veiled themed). Much the same way you would organize a list of bookmarks. Except it's not a list.
I remember things in a very sensory way - smells, tastes, sights. When I remember plants, it's not immediately the name, but the "senses" of the plant, followed by the name, so people can joke all they want about it being geared towards women...for me at least, to have a visual way of organizing things helps IMMENSELY. I fucking love it.

Reddit is, in most basic terms, a link sharing site. The links could be to websites, images, videos, etc. All the popular links get voted up and appear on the home page, but you can also post links to certain categories (subreddits) which you have to subscribe to manually. The only forum feature about it is probably that the comments allow for replies, but other than that, it's nothing like a proper forum such as this place.
