Make Atheism Great Again

[Mechaghostman2]

I think it's time we reset the priorities of this movement. Remember when the Reason Rally was about secularism and mocking religion? Remember when the main discussion was on creationism and failed religious philosophy? Now it's become a bunch of children whining about their feelings. When did the Atheism movement turn into an SJW movement? Can the SJW's just form a movement on their own without leaching on other movements? I mean ok, trans rights and gay rights and such are important issues, but what have they got to do with Atheism? Now-a-days, they've even taken to trying to ban scientists from talking at conferences or firing them from their job. Why? Because feelings. Remember when the Atheist movement was a group of people that spoke their mind no matter who it pissed off? Yeah, now that the regressive left has taken over the movement with people like Steve Shives and the like, it's basically become a modern incarnation of Atheism+. A message to the SJW's that may be reading this. If you want to see the secularist movement survive, stop trying to attach other dogmas to it, because you're only going to divide people. There are many atheist who do not agree with you on said politics and social views, but do agree with you on secularism. The Reason Rally had just barely 1,000 people there this time, as opposed to the 20,000 people in 2012. You are not helping the movement by putting in regressive left values. You are only driving people away.
