"God is dead and we killed him"; that's what the atheists have been saying for decades now, as they are proud of their handicraft in "destroying" God because it's profitable. Let's face it, atheists are literally PAID by leftists organizations to destroy the very fabric that woven the West after the Roman Empire crumbled.
And now what do we have? Their wet dreams of course. With their hatred upon the Abrahamic God and their aim to destroy it have been realized, they paved the way to THEIR religion of choice: Marxism. They're so logical, so intelligent, so reasonable, that they decided that the very fabric of culture, society, history and nations have to be destroyed because it is, according to them, also mandated by that old religion because fuck it.
This was something mixed into leftist thought after 9/11 and W's invading Afghanistan and Iraq. Before that Atheists MOSTLY hated all religion equally because Christianity was the direct villain. Somewhere just after 9/11 the leftist became sympathetic to Islamists because they hated W and the Republicans - so the enemy of my enemy is my ally and there was a concerted effort to defend and become sensitive to islamic fundamentalism and defend them as being mere victims to American Oppression. This is why South Park was forced to censor their episode showing Mohammed because doing so would be supporting W and the Iraq war (which, as we all know, was haram!)
It was this self-censorship that spurred on the anti-bullying stuff which originally was to stop Islamic harassment and then quickly got extended to LGBT groups and heck anyone who was "victimized" by the evil GOP and that's how we ended up where we're at today.
