View submission: What the complainers misunderstood about the importance of the "faces of atheism" trend

View parent comment

There IS a point. Many atheists feel they are alone because their family, acquaintances, and coworkers are all devoutly religious and would ostracize them if they knew about their lack of religious belief. This is a very real thing. For them, seeing these faces of normal folks from all walks of life is reassuring that they aren't alone.

Also, some of these "faces" statements are pretty astounding to read. I'm not sure how anyone could misinterpret what's going on here and get excited enough about it to freak out, but somehow you managed to.
