Is it censorship when you clean up the off-topic, emotionally charged comments that don't belong in a given community? This is a science sub, why bring up religion on a completely unrelated topic? There's a good chance it was a bot anyway, they've ramped up the divisive posts to maximum.

Are you censoring the wood shavings when you sweep the shop?

You could make that argument for the whole thread, though. It's just that LGBT stuff is treated as always on topic across a lot of communities.

There were times where the atheism and LGBT subs on Reddit were practically indistinguishable.

If this were a meme about whatever liberal this or that you were talking about then that would be the case. This is a science meme about archeology and , to not be improper, labeling things as something they probably aren't. For example, smooth well-worn wooden penises (made of non-splintering wood even) and calling then fertility symbols or good luck charms. Yes it does look like its a legitimate back massage in the image, just done in a very nontraditional way that makes it look like 2 dudes connecting on a deeper level, which is what the meme is referencing.

You're responding to the account that wrote the original comment. Dismissing people's opinions as "wood shavings" with some half-assed, pooh-poohing comparison feels anti-intellectual.
