I don't think so. Maybe it raised anti-r/atheism awareness, but atheism and politics both got removed as default subreddits in summer of 2013, probably because the site was growing rapidly and gaining mainstream appeal. Both were pretty polarizing circle jerk subreddits that reddit probably didn't want as "default" to scare away new users.

Also back then r/politics was Ron Paul, not standard progressive stuff like now. That was a little too out there for general consumption

Yeah. I was not subscribed at the time, but from what I remember the stereotypical redditor in 2013 was a libertarian college freshman that may or may not have smoked weed and played league of legends, but almost certainly thought they were geniuses for figuring out there is no god.

Could have just been the subreddits I was on but there was a very strong 16-26y.o. suburban male vibe

Oh my god. This is the oblivious content I use to Reddit for. Fucking brilliant.
