| Some members have admitted to vandalising [[Conservapedia]] in the past. Criticism of Conservapedia on RationalWiki and elsewhere is extreme. Due to the authoritarian and incompetent management on Conservapedia, even people who generally edit wikis responsibly may be tempted to vandalize Conservapedia. The fact that on Conservapedia, 'vandalism' seems to include 'adding verified, cited facts that disagree with Fundamentalist dogma' makes 'vandalism' much easier than it should be. Many novice editors 'vandalize' the site without even realizing it, until they're blocked for it. | | Some members have admitted to vandalising [[Conservapedia]]. In addition, most if not all of the users hold fundamentalist religion in contempt. Many users criticize Christianity and conservativism and some of the admins and users openly espouse atheism on their user pages, and criticize what they see as various religious irrationalities. |

| As most of the founding members of RationalWiki were blocked from Conservapedia for trying to moderate anti-scientific content and include more liberal points of view, they have continued to undermine Conservapedia's lunacy in the following manners:
| |
| | |
| * Arguing (such as in the case of arguing that the Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, Richard Dawkins, was, in fact, a professor)
| |
| * Adding content that portrays Liberals as something other than Evil Incarnate
| |
| * Openly mocking the site owner and administrators of Conservapedia
| |
| * Trying to add scientific content to pages espousing only a young-Earth creationist POV
| |
| * Showing outright contempt for the site, fundamentalist Christianity, homophobia, misogyny and extreme conservatism in general
| |
| * Trying to moderate or refute lies against liberal politicians
| |
| * Adding facts about conservatives which illustrates the hypocrisy of the site
| |
| * Possibly manipulating page-view counts to highlight intolerant and unscientific content
| |
| * Lying about who they are, in order not to be banned instantly
| |
| * Adding parody and false information in run-of-the-mill articles
| |
| * Fooling Conservapedia administrators through misdirection on Rationalwiki
| |
| * Utilising Poe's Law to undermine the credibility of Conservapedia
| |
| * Getting blamed for every prankster, troll or vandal who harasses Conservapedia.
