There have been atheist quotes in the past, but I agree that things are a little unbalanced.

I think that it's because it's somewhat easier and simpler to find where the Christian fundies reside than it is to find, say, a Buddhist fundie. Of course, I'm talking nonsense. On the internet, if you want to find something, it will be there.
So, yeah, let's get some Buddhist fundies up there, damnmit!

It's also simple population; Christianity and Islam are the biggest religions (including the non-religious) in the Western world. Naturally we get more stupid shit from them than a smaller religion like Buddhism.
I have indeed seen fundie Buddhists, however, namely a board post about a little girl born extremely disfigured commenting on how she must have been a rapist and a murderer in her past life to have been born like that.

And a good chunk of us are American, where the numbers say something like 70% Christian. Even with Atheism on the rise, us non-religious folks are nowhere near as significant. Not to mention, I'm not aware of the Atheist equivalent of Rapture Ready, or the Birthers (Who do tend to be Christian and Right Wing), or whatever. But then, ryal, if you know of any, the best way to even things out would be to submit them. |

Indeed. Being a fundie does not mean you are religious. You can be a fundie and be non-religious.

Indeed. Being a fundie does not mean you are religious. You can be a fundie and be non-religious. As several quotes on the main page illustrate. We have quotes from a variety of religions and also from those who are actively anti-religious. The Christian quotes outnumber these for the reasons explained above. |

There's also the fact that there are far more English-speaking Christians than there are English-speaking *insert religion here*. There's the language barrier, too.

I've submitted Buddhist fundies, and they just didnt make it through.
I don't know exactly who's voting, but some seem to think we are the anti-RR or something. Seems that's were 90% of our posts come from.
I'll go submit some Buddhist ones, I'll even try and find atheist ones. But you know we're going to hear the OMG THIS ISN'T FUNDIE. I believe a lot of people who come to this site just hate Christianity for whatever reason.
Edit:
Screw it, I got 3 or 4, but damn Buddhist can say a lot about absolutely nothing.

The ones you submitted really aren't that crazy. The only one I voted for was the one about the demon king of the sixth hell, just because the idea of such an entity amused me.
