Subreddit Rules
- No Hate Speech: Posts and comments must not denigrate, dehumanize, devalue, or incite harm against any person or group based on their race, religion, gender, disability, or other characteristics. This includes promotion of negative stereotypes (e.g. calling a demographic delusional or suggesting it's prone to criminality). Debates about LGBTQ+ topics are allowed due to their religious relevance (subject to mod discretion), so long as objections are framed within the context of religion.
- Be Civil: Don't be rude or hostile to other users. Criticize arguments, not people. Our standard for civil discourse is based on respect, tone, and [unparliamentary language](https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/wiki/unparliamentary_language/). 'They started it' is not an excuse - report it, don't respond to it.
- Quality Posts and Comments: Posts and comments will be removed if they are disruptive to the purpose of the subreddit. This includes submissions that are: low effort, proselytizing, uninterested in participating in discussion, made in bad faith, off-topic, unintelligible/illegible, or posts with a clickbait title. Posts/comments must be written in your own words (and not be AI-generated); you may quote others, but only to support your own writing. Do not link to an external resource instead of making an argument yourself.
- Thesis Statement and Argument: Posts must have a thesis statement as their title or their first sentence. A thesis statement is a sentence which explains what your central claim is and briefly summarizes how you are arguing for it. Posts must also contain an argument supporting their thesis. An argument is not just a claim. You should explain why you think your thesis is true and why others should agree with you. (As a trial, this rule is temporarily suspended during "Fresh Fridays" - see
- Opposed Top-Level Comments: All top-level comments must seek to refute the post through substantial engagement with its core argument. Comments that support or purely commentate on the post must be made as replies to the Auto-Moderator “COMMENTARY HERE” comment. Exception: Clarifying questions are allowed as top-level comments. (As a trial, this rule is temporarily suspended during "Fresh Fridays" - see
- Reasonably Accurate Labels on Posts: All original posts must be reasonably precise in the group their argument is directed at. "Theist" is not a synonym for "Christian". If you want to say "Christian" then just say "Christian".
- Fresh Topics on Friday: On Fridays, all posts must discuss fresh topics. You must flair your post with “Fresh Friday.” We encourage posts about subjects other than Christianity/Islam/atheism. Banned topics include: problem of evil, Kalam, fine tuning, disciple martyrdom, Quranic miracles, classical theism.
- Pilate Program is Available: Posts with titles following the format “[<demographic>]...” require that all top-level comments must be from users with flairs corresponding to that demographic. We expect all users to assign their flairs honestly to avoid comment removal. We encourage posters to appropriately address their submissions, thus identifying their target audience. All users are free to respond to top-level comments.
- Meta Threads Once a Week: All meta discussion of the sub must be done on the weekly meta thread. This is to avoid cluttering the sub and to gather feedback in one place so it’s easier for the mods to act on.
- No AI: You may not use Generative AI for any purpose on this subreddit. This includes everything from using ChatGPT to write arguments for you down to using Grammarly to rewrite your paragraphs. We are here to debate other people, not bots.
