Tangentially: The discussion of actual issues and biases on LessWrong is appreciated. I’ve only been here briefly, so I haven’t really gotten to know the community that well yet.
This was sadly not clear in my original post, but my goal was to compare “looking at a public website” to “reading top-level posts”. I’ve never seen a top-level post supporting Christianity or condemning the SIAI here. On an individual level, I’m sure there are people that hold those stances, just as there are individual UU members who don’t agree with the values you’re seeing on the UU websites.
My point was simply “when you look at the ‘public face’ of an organisation, you’re going to see some degree of consensus, because that’s just how human organisations work”
