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.

I don’t disagree with a lot of what you just said. I’m sure there are plenty of shitty parents that use god as a justification for their abuse, just as I’ve seen plenty of shitty parents who didn’t need any such excuse, my point isn’t really a full-throated defense of Christiandom, I think there’s a lot of faggotry involved with the Church that is part of the reason we’re where we are today.
My point was more that the popular atheist movement has been little more than a tool to introduce globohomo faggotry into our society, in the same vein as the media and academia. I’m not saying it’s the only tool or that if you’re an atheist you’re automatically a commie faggot, or that being a Christian automatically makes you immune to such faggotry,I am saying that I fail to see a single benefit that the popular atheist movement has had in the west, and like the OP I think that it’s actually been a detriment as far as back-dooring this bugman, trust the science movement.
The Atheist movement's best accomplishment was lasting long enough to make people skeptical of the Social Justice movement; otherwise we'd look a lot more like Canada right now. It's fighting off of moral authoritarianism inoculated people to moral authoritarianism from the Left, but not all of them.
Athiesm+ murdered the whole movement because that is what it's objective was: balkanize the movement, demand acquiescence to Leftism, wear the movement as a skin suit. All of the Leftist movements are still manipulated by the Fabian Socialist elite, and that's not Atheism could have ever done anything about.
The IFLS (I Fucking Love Science) crowd has long been understood to be an embarrassment to anything related to actual science, as it's been clear that "Science Communicators" have utterly failed and have cultivated something far worse than an scientifically literate population. Leftists, like shark smelling blood in the water, found a position of concentrated power and attacked it, as is their natural inclination. Atheism did not try to make that, the Scientific Community did not try to make that, the whole thing has been bastardized into Communist Pseudo-intellectualism. Because, again, the Left seeks any place of concentrated power.
Climate Change is probably the optimal example of the divide. The Scientists themselves are always driven bonkers why no one seems to understand their work, but there's a group of people screaming at Watermelons claiming that they know about Climate Science as a Watermelon plot. I've literally taken an Environmental Science course where we spent time actually debunking Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" in class. Environmental Science. On the opposite end, you have the right-wing which hasn't ever seen any of the actual data, they've been just fighting the Watermelons.
The right thinks Watermelons are the Scientific Community. The Scientific Community are being told that the right wing are a literal strawmen by Watermelons.
Science: "There will be a 6" sea level raise in 100 years. This will cause significant ecological disruption."
Watermelons: "YOU NAZIS ARE KILLING THE EARTH"
The Right: "You are literally just a bunch of Communists."
Watermelons: "I'M THE FUCKING SCIENCE"
The Right: "Then the Science is wrong!"
Watermelons: "DID YOU HEAR THAT! HE SAID THE SCIENCE IS WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE A COMMUNIST!"
Science: "What? That's fucking absurd."
Watermelons: "YOU HEAR THAT! YOU'RE FUCKING ABSURD AND THE DATA PROVES IT NAZI!"
The Right: "If this is what Science is being used for, then it shouldn't have my tax money."
Watermelons: "YOU HEAR THAT? HE WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR FUNDING BECAUSE HE HATES SCIENCE!"
Science: "What the fuck, we're trying to deal with serious problems!"
Watermelons: "HE CALLED YOU A LITTLE BITCH!"
