On this very forum, you can see pornography and rock music as well as a large number of youth (people under 25, I have seen 2 under 18). Are you arguing that atheists don't use the things to advance their agenda (whether intentionally or it just has the effect of strengthening atheist communities) or are you arguing that atheists simply do these things but it is not part of advancing their agenda.
This is really just a way of playing with words. Whatever you do for the atheist movement and whatever you give to the atheist movement, that is what the atheist movement uses to attract people to it.
You can use non-rational persuasion techniques like mocking to make your point, but that won't fly in the academic journals you so revere. Sort of a double standard, isn't it.
