These rules apply to both link and self-posts. - No Proselytizing or Preaching

Proselytizing includes things like "sharing the good news," warning atheists of hell, and unsolicited AMAs relating to major religions. See the [Proselytizing portion of the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/wiki/faq#wiki_what_is_.22proselytizing.3F.22) for additional information.

If you're linked via a meta subreddit don't vote. If you're just going in there to shitpost or get into an argument, don't comment. If you actually have something that is worthwhile to contribute and isn't trying to shove your viewpoint down everyone's throats, think first before commenting. If you legitimately find the thread on your own (you can be subscribed to both meta subs and a sub that's been linked to without getting nuked for brigading) please feel free to comment and vote. - No Artificial Intelligence
This sub is for people talking to people. It is not about bots talking to bots or people responding to bots or bots responding to people. Content that is generated in whole or in part with AI is not allowed. Citing any AI-generated content as though it were an academic source or an authority is not allowed. Linking to what appears to be AI-generated content is also not allowed. AI ***may*** be used to translate. The post must also paste the original language content below the translation. - No Holy Wars
"Holy warriors" and new accounts that spawn or engage in creating content that is deemed to be derogatory information or propaganda from supporters of one religion against another religion are not allowed. The mods will act with prejudice against such attempts and the accounts responsible. In doing so, the mods are not acting as shills or protectors of any religion. The mods simply refuse to allow the sub to be used by either side as a battleground in religious wars.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
