It's more the atheists your talking about, are right now chanting free Palestine, got a trans flag on their profile and pronouns in bio
Yeah, atheists have always been cringe Lefties obsessed with "Current Thing." Its why they felt comfortable enough to create Atheism+ in the first place.
Atheism doesn't have a rule book, it doesn't have a main governing body. Thereby there aren't any rules to say "you ain't one!" other than the singular "believes in god" type. So you can't say they aren't one anymore than you can say the "deeper thinkers" are one. Its all atheism, with all the baggage that brings.
Wait a sec, isn't this basically a theistic version of gamergate we're talking about? 'How can you prove they're not gamergate, you don't have any rules on joining!'
You tell by the level of understanding, if all you look for is petty self confirmation of your actions then chances are you'd as easily be Catholic if all you had to do was attend confession for 10 minutes a week.
If you want to see it that way. Gamergate was a movement with a handful of presumptions necessary to even logically believe in it, like thinking there was something fishy with games journos like Kotaku. The same way you can't be an atheist if you believe in god, no matter how you dance around it that is a requirement for that singular purpose.
But from there yes you can have all sorts of nonsensical and contradictory parties within because of the lack of definable rules. You've achieved the literal only basic rule (the same way the only rule about being black is literally being fucking black), and any discount from there is self-serving.
Point being, the move isn't "they aren't atheists" because they are just the same as anyone. Its that they are shitty people who did it for garbage reasons. And unfortunately for atheists, those make up the majority in both number and power in society.
