The internet is and will always be the place religion comes to die. The number of atheist websites and forums is growing and places like r/atheism have around 1.5-2 million subscribers.

That depends on where you look and who did the research. You would say that most atheist websites are full opinion and not academia, but you really just disregard the evidence, claim it isn't true, and ignore that the website's creators have actually done their research. People don't want to see opinions that contradict theirs. I used to be guilty of that, but I've now realized that theistic arguments are almost always completely laughable.
The number of atheist sites that make nonacademic claims are increasing. They pose the greatest threat to the secular movement. Why should someone join a group that "stands" behind logic and faith when that group does not adhere to academic standards or actually do research.
The worst example being the Horus Myth debacle....they could have fooled me (frankly I just did not care) save for the fact they kept on trying to embellish it until they created a huge discrepancy between their story and the historic record.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
