Lemmy users heavily fall into the demographic of middle aged millenials and gen-x who are severely online. Folks in that cohort largely went through the same atheist phase online, with a long tail of diversifying out from there where many remained atheists but stopped making it their whole personality.
This online, atheist debate bro culture had a lot of carry over effects though. One of them, as I see it, is severe skepticism towards most cryptic stuff.
