Yes. One of the big things of 1980s and 90s United States Christian fundamentalism was an irrational fear of communists. Indeed, in the more hardcore fundy churches, Ronald Reagan was often mentioned in the same sentence as Jesus himself. However, by Miriam's launch date, glasnost was well in effect which changed things and the USSR had broken up. Never mind most of these guys never even read the Communist Manifesto! Much of what is in there has actually been implemented into US society to an extent.Atheists, of course, were the icing on the cake. On the chart of evil, atheists ranked even below Satanists. Of course to me, that makes no sense. Satanists are a parody religion based on pageantry and selfishness. Atheism is based on rational thinking and "free thought". But, back in the day if you called yourself an atheist in many parts of the United States, you were a social pariah. Only stupid kids who wanted an excuse to be retarded and wear black called themselves Satanists. Atheists actually read more and were better conversationalists than the fundies! Thank goodness the internet came along and got rid of (most) of that BS.

Thank goodness the internet came along and got rid of (most) of that BS.It almost looks as if you're saying that the internet stamped out being well-read and a good conversationalist, especially among atheists. Actually, that's not far from the truth. There are a few sanctuaries of sanity on the net, though, like this forum.
Plus, last I checked spambots and other nuisances aren't really pigeonholed here much either given the small amount of people this game generates. I think I went a little crazy today with custom factions, I was playing so much the game, and my computer froze xD
