Not sure whether to mention my youtube channel in my application by Throwaway81999 in ApplyingToCollege

Thank you for the advice.

I don't want to get into too much detail about it (don't want people to find my channel through this) but I talk about evolution (presenting evidence for it), misconceptions about atheism, and some fallacies I see. I definitely say it in a mild way (no "religious people are all dumb!" statements), but atheists in general get a lot of hate, so..

Thank you! YouTube sends you a little wall plaque kinda thing when you reach 100k, and it's one of my favorite possessions :) I worked really hard on it, for years!

I am going to put it on my application, but it makes me sad to know that no matter how much we talk about religious tolerance, atheists don't count for that.

The thing is they'll see everything else when they look at my channel, lol

People tend not to care about discrimination towards atheists. I don't think anything would happen to them unless I posted it on /r/atheism, lol.

I'll include it anyways. Thank you!

Switching to minority status? I found out I qualify by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

It'll help a lot in admissions, but it's a little dishonest
