Essay: Richard Dawkins, obesity has enveloped your marketing campaign

From Conservapedia

Richard Dawkins, obesity has enveloped your marketing campaign!

Conservapedia thinks it is time to replace your New Atheism marketing campaign with the "Brand New Atheism" marketing campaign. Of course, you will still be selling the same inferior worldview of atheism, but at least you could flee the shameful taint of obesity that has enveloped your New Atheism campaign.

3 out of 5 founders of the New Atheism movement have had issues with being overweight

The term New Atheism which first appeared in the November 2006 edition of Wired magazine, is frequently applied to a series of six best-selling books by five authors that appeared in the period between 2004–2008. These authors include Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Victor J. Stenger and Christopher Hitchens.^[1] The four most prominent writers of the New Atheist movement are Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett. 3 out of 5 of the founders of the New Atheism movement have had issues with being overweight as can be seen HERE and HERE and HERE Please see Atheism and obesity for further details.

By the way, Conservapedia does hope that the New Atheism community recognizes that becoming overweight and/or obese is quite contrary to the recommendations of the medical science community and should be avoided if possible.
