    One interesting thing is how "new atheism" is such a haven for putative liberals who are actually very reactionary.

        Robert Wright argued a while back that the new atheists are the secularist equivalent of the religious right.

        It's not that interesting really, people were drawn to the spectacle of intellectual beatdowns, eg the classic "Hitchslap" clips.

        This is what new atheists/youtube atheists are about, looking for the next Hitchslap, that is what they built their atheism around

        yep, absolutely. They're far more persuasive to mainstream audience than a Pam Geller.

        It's a gateway to alt-right sentiment on Islam.

        Actually alt-righters might be easier to talk to on this subject because they don't think of themselves as experts on the topic

        Umm, I've been an atheist since 1958. Can I get grandfathered in to avoid being called a reactionary?

        I've been an atheist since 1984, does that make me reactionary?
