Atheists just can't get over the fact that they lost the culture war.
Let me take you under 18s back to the year of 2006: >atheism on the rise on the internet with their voices getting more heard everyday >atheist leaders like Dawkins, Harris, and (worst) Hitchens are respected voices in the community >r/atheism is one of the top boards on bleddit >corporate stores trying to push things like "Happy Holidays" and having "Holiday Trees"
Cut to today: >Dawkins, Harris, and (worst) Hitchens (may he RIP) viewed as complete psychos for their insane political/social views >r/atheism moved to the basement of bleddit because it was embarrassing euphoric garbage >things like "Reason Rally" draw less than a Hitler impersonator at a bar mitvah >atheist communities tear themselves apart over things like elevator gate (giving rise to New Atheism, and Atheism+, which are less successful than just regular Atheism) >constant rape and sexual assault allegations at atheist conventions (even atheist leaders like Lawrence Krauss are accused...by other atheist leaders) >"Happy Holidays" and "Holiday Trees" are a distant memory >liberal atheists in Britain crushed by Brexit
And quite frankly all this bad stuff wasn't even needed. All it would have took was one euphoric quote and a couple of fedora pictures. Christianity is still kicking 2000 years later, and atheism is at it knees because of a jpeg of a fat guy in a fedora. Sad
I think the distinction you have to make is "explicit" vs "implicit" atheism.
People in 2006 constantly said atheist shit all the time because it was a relatively novel idea at the time. Only a few years earlier (late 90s early 2000s), Christian rock bands were topping the billboard charts for record sales, and many people still regularly attended church.
Today, id reckon most people in the western world are at least implicitly atheist/agnostic, but you won't see them announce it publicly.

He seems like a nice guy. I think I'll introduce my little brother to him.
Nicholas Reed
Well, lets shit on these fedora wearing assholes already!

Nobody got any fedora they'd like to share? Shame.

I feel sorry for the kids growing up in religious regions where your personal beliefs are still a thing.

Atheism isn't a culture, it's just the non-belief in made-up gods. So it can't possibly compete in any kind of contest like this, but you'd know that if all those years of irrational belief hadn't severely damaged your ability to reason.

Does this silly hat confer some sort of magical powers like mormon underwear?

Who cares about a fucking culture war. Atheism isn't a culture.
Anti-theists lost. Atheists just continue on being correct and letting everyone else live their lives.
David Brown
I doubt many think Sam Harris as insane...he is often worth listening to.

That means he gets at least 10 kopecks for today's "1 post by this ID" slide thead. I'm not sure what that buys on the streets of Moscow, but they work so hard for it and they seem so desperate, you gotta feel sorry for them.
