The 'Hey, Do Atheists Go to Hell' meme originates from a webcomic by the popular artist SrGrafo, first appearing on Reddit in 2019. The four-panel template depicts a person asking God about the fate of atheists, only to discover that while atheists are spared, those who commit specific social sins are sent 'straight to hell, to the boiler room of hell.' This meme became a viral sensation as a vehicle for internet venting, allowing users to mock mildly annoying behaviors, niche fandom takes, or controversial opinions. Its enduring popularity lies in the comedic juxtaposition of God's casual mercy toward atheists versus his extreme punishment for minor everyday annoyances.
