Yeah, it was actually started by some professor about 10-15 years ago. The idea was to create a 'positive' term for rational thinkers that was co-opted from another, existing word, much like how the word 'gay' is used to mean homosexual. Dawkins, for whatever reason, got on board the idea. Most other atheists, free-thinkers, and the like did not for many reasons, including the term having an innate derogatory connotation.
So, GC is trying to smear all atheists based on a really flawed idea some of them had. It's idiotic.
