First of all, it's atheist not athiest. You left the 's' off of has and this phrase doesn't make much sense to me at all "communication technology it aninimity always people."

I think what you were trying to say is that the internet provides anonymity which allows people to promote their views without fear of punishment.

Yeah, the internet is a great place to say and do what you want without fear of ridicule or alienation. I consider myself lucky to have never lived in a place where outspoken atheism would draw the ire of those around me, but I still find the internet a comfortable place to discuss my views with like-minded people.

(Also, learning to spell properly is important because it's easier for people to understand what you're trying to say. It also helps in being taken seriously when attempting an intellectual discussion.)

Me too. The internet has made me feel greatful for the attitude of my family especially about atheism, as they are OK about it and I have since learnt that there are places out there where atheists are still persecuted eek

Meh... it's a great place for a discussion because in RL, especially where I live, people are either like "Well, I do believe there is some sort of God..." but don't back it up with evidence, or "Nah, I don't believe in God" and are unwilling to discuss it further.
