This is awful. If @C_Stroop really thinks 'movement atheism' is neglecting women & (ex)Muslims, he's not been paying attention. Hate the word 'thought-leader' but if you look at which people are most listened to, you find a lot of women & ex-Muslims. https://thinklab.com/c/secularism/thought-leaders …https://twitter.com/millbot/status/963035091613208576 …

In any case suffice to say Atheism w/ a capital A is regarded often from many perspectives as having a doctrinal basis giving regressives a handle, albeit an absurd one, to displace all their absurd arguments. I would like to defend the assumption it is not a hard & fast doctrine

Well, no. James' book Everybody is Wrong About God argues against an atheist movement or taking 'atheist' as an identity.

I would very much agree w/ this thesis on its face.

I’ve gotten that impression without looking for it. Don’t ask me for quotes right now as I’m hampered by the exigencies of my lower middle class plebeian economic status to do any substantive research on the question. Who coined “New Atheist “anyway? Would love to be proven wrong

I'm not sure but they never used it. Argued that there could not be anything new about it.

Right. Really it should be assumed it is simply a realm of thought & discourse neccessarily created by the history & hegemonic legacy of religious doctrine.

Sam Harris actually gave a public talk on how we shouldn’t call ourselves atheists. Not enough agreed with him, so he went with the consensus. It’s amazing to see the label used as a pejorative against him now.
