Like, yeah of course the New Atheists made themselves into huge assholes and created an inevitable backlash That doesn't mean the thing they were pissed off about was never valid, or isn't still valid

And hell the backlash to the backlash is now starting to get to obnoxious levels too I can't even make an obvious joking tweet about how "Our suffering proves there is no God" without getting chided about how that's hateful to religious minorities

Maybe, yeah. I'm not sure how much of it is people vigorously trying to distance themselves from Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris and that whole clique; it's why I generally don't lead with 'atheist' as a religious identity.

I don't think it's just them, but the whole "internet atheist" phenomenon that followed in their wake, from youtube to reddit. To some extent this really seems to be a "very online" conflict.
