Every group that has an opposition has, at some point or other, used ridicule as a conversion tactic, or to discredit the other party. You see in in religion, politics, debate, you saw it in the whites that didn't want blacks to have equal rights, you see it in sexist men that will try and ridicule/discredit women.
I am on OP's side, in the fact that I wish we could all be more tolerant, but human nature is to ridicule and cast out anything that is different. You can even see an example of this in playground bullying in children!
IIN that many modern day atheists use ridicule as a conversion tactic?
