The Atheist Professor Copypasta can refer to one of two different copypastas on the internet.
The original version, also known as the "Albert Einstein Copypasta", was to a common chain email copypasta that originated in 1999. It told a story about a religious student and an atheist professor arguing about the existance of God and the Problem of Evil. The student wins the argument, and at the end it's revealed that the student was (supposedly) none other than Albert Einstein himself. It should be noted that Einstein himself never actually said this and the story is considered an Urban Legend.
The parody version was originally written on 4chan in 2011, meant to make fun of the original one. It tells the story of a Straw Liberal professor forcing his students to worship Karl Marx, before he is stopped by a Christian U.S. Marine who disproves the theory of evolution. This copypasta quickly became iconic for its over-the-top parody of cheesy apocryphal internet stories.
