Atheism +

[TaraJo]

So, I'm kinda witnessing the atheism+ circle jerk come up again. I have a bunch of atheist or science channels on my youtube subscriptions and one of them posted a video about atheism+

And when these videos come up, I like to get an idea how the atheist community as a whole responds to them. It honestly sounded like some sincere criticisms and legitimate concerns of atheism+ and it was put forth in such a way that nobody should have been insulted or hurt. The good news is that most of the people commenting agree, but there are some people who keep commenting about how angry they are over it. Plus, PZMeyers himself watched it..... sort of. He watched the beginning and immediately dismissed the rest and he's spent this morning bashing the video on twitter.

I don't want to say atheism+ is a religion, but it has many of the same traits that I find most repulsive about religion.
