== Babylon Bee satires of atheism, liberalism and leftism == ''See also:'' [[Babylon Bee]] The [[Babylon Bee]] website is an [[Evangelical]] [[Christian]] satirical internet news site. It models itself after the secular [[satire]] news publication [[The Onion]] with devastating humorous memes that mostly make [[liberals]] the butt of the joke, not exclusively. Many stories focus on satire involving well-known Christian personalities as well as other conservatives, along with articles satirizing current [[Christian]] trends. In at least one instance an article in the Babylon Bee was reported as legitimate [[news]] by the [[mainstream media]]; eventually, liberal fact-check website [[Snopes.com]] had to confirm the article was satire. <ref>https://www.snopes.com/federal-judge-chris-tomlin/</ref> Snopes treated the ''Bee'' as a non-satirical news source. Snopes being an authorized [[Facebook]] fact checker would repeatedly hound Babylon Bee until threatened with a lawsuit. <ref>Nolte, John (July 31, 2019).

It's cool, funny and trending content, devastating to the liberal worldview and they are not happy about it.  The Babylon Bee was banned from [[Twitter]] due to humor that got under the skin of Twitter's [[woke]] employees/management. After the more free speech oriented [[Elon Musk]] purchased Twitter, the Babylon Bee returned to Twitter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/thebabylonbee/status/1593671784666402816 Babylon Bee posting to Twitter after their account was restored]</ref> == Militant atheism, mockery, anger and intelligence ===
