Reddit Liberalism 

Reddit liberalism is often associated with the liberal nature of redditors. Since reddit tends to lean left-wing on all major subreddits, It's infamous for having a notable liberal bias. It's also associated with reddit atheism, which devoutly attacks religion, since many reddit atheists are also liberals as well.
Reddit Liberalism is notorious for being filled with edgy atheists, although a lot of them are actually decent people.

hardcore agnostic 

A hardcore agnostic is someone who is certain that the knowability of god is unknowable. This goes by strong agnosticism, since agnosticism is mistakenly associated with irreligion, you can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. So, a hardcore agnostic would be strictly agnostic, neither a theist or atheist.
He's a hardcore agnostic, his opinion on religion won't change either way.

metaphysical materialism 

Metaphysical materialism is the metaphysical world view that reality is defined by matter, and the immaterial does not exist. This is similar to metaphysical naturalism, however naturalism is the idea that the universe only runs on natural laws, and materialism is the idea that the universe is only matter, so materialism as a metaphysical concept is an ontological view of the universe, while naturalism is a scientific philosophy that takes the premise of materialism and applies it to our understanding of the universe.
Metaphysical materialism is just a fancier way of saying materialism, both mean the same thing obviously. Most people just use materialism, but adding the term metaphysical to it clarifies that it is talking about a material world of the universe and not an obsession with wealth.

Atheist Fundamentalism 

Atheist Fundamentalism is an oxymoron, because, fundamentalism implies a subscription to a belief set like a text book. One could be fundamental in a non-theistic philosophy, but, it is impossible to be an atheist fundamentalist.

However, in the context of it being used as an insult, it is used to denote atheists who are 100% certain that god does not exist (positive atheism) and hold anti-religious stances. This is the opposite of a religious fundamentalist who is 100% certain that god does exist and hold anti-atheist stances.
Atheist Fundamentalism is the polar opposite of religious fundamentalism because both regard their beliefs as being objectively correct while being just as intolerant as each other.
