🔗 New Atheism: An Autopsy
A nice overview of whatever happened to the New Atheist movement that was all over the dial a few years back. The answer given here is the progressive atheists became progressives while the nutjobs, sorry, more libertarian athetists realised that the things they hated about religion could also come from secular areas. In other words, it’s about how people organise themselves in society, not what god they believe in.

This article gives me a nice label, apatheists, those who don’t consider the subject of godly existence relevant. via
