My impression is that that was kind of the case a decade ago and now basically isn't. Though I've had a slightly feeling it might be returning, but regardless I don't expect it to go anywhere. Atheism is becoming too boring and common place for the angsty side to be so alluring.
- ummonk 5y agoYeah there was the whole Atheism+ thing and then it kind of just petered out and people started increasingly becoming nonbelievers or just nondenominational believers without needing to have a big organized movement / identity around it. Arguably, a lot of the reason for the atheism movement's existence no longer exists - prayer and creationism in public schools seems to be a thing of the past. The angst is still there though - it's just directly applied towards modern culture war fault-lines rather than towards religion / belief in god.
- GoblinSlayer 5y agoApolitism is the next big thing.
- mbfg 5y agoThe fight has always been about people's beliefs. and the actions they take because of those beliefs. Very few people care about what you believe in the privacy of your own home, it's when people take those beliefs and act on them in the legislature, courtroom, police station, schools, etc, etc. That's how it started, that's how it will end. There hasn't been a significant change over time.
