(had to break up my comment for length)
I hear you with regards to r/atheism being valuable outlet for atheist teenagers in conservative areas. The problem is that if it's to be a safe place for teenagers, it has to be a safe place for all atheist teenagers. I am curious where all the anger comes from though. When I was sixteen, I had a pretty ugly fight with my mother in regards to my reading books on alternative religions. I was furious and hurt, but I don't think I was ever rabid and angry at religion; more angry at my parents. Maybe it's a displacement issue.
