I never heard of it.

Between here and The Thinking Atheist, I'm busy enough.

I've heard of it, but don't post there. I used to post at .com. Now it's here or on FB at Atheist Republic (which, in some sense, is rather quiet since most threads are just questions of the day by the admin).

This is the only atheism related forum I'm on.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Is that different than Atheism+?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'd rather gouge my eyes out.

RationalWiki-atheism plus

I'd heard of it, but never looked into it.  So I just did, out of curiosity.

I know you asked about the forums, not the movement, but I think there are some telling things in your question about it, and what the wiki says.

Quote:Its original definition was rather nebulous, but in general it is intended to be a subset of the atheism movement that attempts to unite atheists who wish to use their shared atheist identity as a basis for addressing political and social issues and engaging in related activism. Its scope is intended to go beyond the question of (non-)belief to address additional issues, including critical thinkingskepticismsocial justicefeminism, anti-racism, and combating homophobia and .

And 

Quote:The initiative largely went nowhere, and even proponents don't really use the term anymore. But the phrase remains in use by those implacably opposed to the idea of being an atheist but not being an asshole, particularly Reddit anti-feminists, Gamergate and fans of. Unironic use of the term is a reliable indicator of an asshole.

Hmmmm.  Considering your previous threads about anti-feminism, posts slamming "social justice warriors", and your unironic question about the Atheism Plus forums taken together....my spidey senses are tingling.

Wow.

You used a pro-Atheism Plus wiki to learn information about Atheism Plus.

Bravo, but if you want further verification to why many disliked the movement, here you go:

Actually, I just looked at a pro-rational wiki. It was the first thing that popped up in google, and I generally do like RationalWiki.  Obviously I'm not into the Atheism plus movement, but I'm not defending it either.  I don't care why people liked or didn't like it.

My point is, your seemingly innocent OP question wasn't so innocent, it's totally loaded.  You are just waiting to pounce on any pro-atheism plus people like the vile, lying spider you are. Ass.
