Re: Are Religious People More Prone to Internet Trolling than Non-Religious People?

The original term trolling meant to renew topics that have already been discussed to bring new members into the discussion. It was coined to mean something similar to trolling when you fish, sending out a trusty hook to catch new people. Someone with a religious bent, who is new to the site, will be trolled in with any topic connected to evolution or religion. One of the chum tricks, by atheist, to make a general comment out of ignorance, such as believing in ghosts, is what religion is all about.

In terms of the newer definition of trolling, we are discussing, atheist bias about religion is trolling to anyone who took the time to learn more about the subject. It is linear, predictable and doesn't attempt to come to any truth. This type of trolling does not require support evidence to prove linear claims.
