    Eugh.

    I mean, it’s not wrong, but this has the energy of a Facebook meme for people who make atheism their entire personality.

    If I saw someone with this mug I would probably avoid them.

      Yeah stuff like this is cringe.

      Science isn’t a culture or a belief system, nor is it a substitute for those things. Science isn’t an aesthetic or a political or group ideology.

        A lot of religions don’t even make scientific claims.

        The mug doesn’t claim anything you wrote, either (or give a fuck 😄).

          YOU don’t give a fuck what people believe. You. Science has nothing to do with it. Science isn’t a person, it doesn’t have the capacity for indifference. Science is a method, a process, a set of tools. Science isn’t a gotcha to your political or ideological opponents. If you want to say that you don’t care what people believe, fine (that’s still cringe) but leave science out of it.
