Something that’s has irked me for some time now is how many people latched onto the Atheist movement as an edgy teen but now look back on it in reverence and not shame. This seems to be a common theme in academia and is prevalent even in communities like this one. The lamentation of the “golden-age” of atheism is peak hubris. Dawkins, Hitchens, and crew were deconstructionists of the critical theory variety. Their lives were consumed by the need to disprove God and religion. However these were the shortsighted desires of pseudo-intellectuals, they accomplished nothing productive, and if anything, opened the door for the screaming children that replaced them. I don’t think Dawkins, in his wildest dreams, ever saw his fall come from his own hubris. The intellectual argument over dismantling religion somehow disproving the existence of a god is what fueled the SJWS and their own brand of hubris in the early 2000’s. BTW Dawkins, this is what happens when you remove the “tumor” of religion, you hack. As you see today, Dawkins was swallowed by the stupidity he helped bring about, the Maximilien Robespierre of the modern era, begging for trannies to not cut off his head.

You are missing the point even though you said it yourself. Hardline Christianity recognized the attempts to subvert and degrade the family from very early on. Allowing media in your household that portrays fathers as dumb and lazy, church goers as hypocritical, and the "cool" characters as rebellious against the hierarchy is one of many steps in the process that got us here.
You've just chosen a line farther down the slippery slope and claim we could have stopped there and everything would have been OK. Like, maybe Gay Rainbow Dildo Monkey Story Hour is too far, but there's nothing wrong with a little bit of subversion of family values, right?
