If I add ‘social signalling effects’ as a subtitle, does that make it more clear? I don’t think ‘Irritation at Irrational Beliefs’ explains it as well because I have always spent time around people with ‘irrational’ beliefs, and never been bothered by it until I also spent a lot of time on LW.
I agree that my proposed title is lame and unhelpful, but I don’t think “too many rational memes” is the root cause of this phenomenon. It seems unlikely that there is some threshold number of rationality-themed memes such that people start instinctively hating religion once they have been exposed to enough of them.
Personally, I would call what I think Swimmer963 is talking about the problem of outgroup contempt. But I also don’t much care what the title of the post is.
