Atheist Revolution
The Atheist Revolution website is a blog focusing on atheism, secularism, skepticism, and freethought. Jack Vance is the atheist blogger who owns the website and writes for the website. The website was founded in 2005.[1]
Vance lives in Mississippi which is state with a large proportion Christians.[2] One of the motivations behind Vance's blogging is to express his atheistic views which are viewed unfavorably in his area (See: Distrust of atheists and Views on atheists).[3] Vance claims that "Christian privilege" is pervasive in Mississipi and other religious areas of the United States (See also: Sociology of "atheism is un-American" view).[4][5]

The atheist blogger Jack Vance's commentary on Elevatorgate and its negative effects on the former atheist movement
See also: Elevatorgate
Elevatorgate is a term commonly used to describe a 2011 controversy involving New Atheist Richard Dawkins' comments made to atheist Rebecca Watson which are perceived to have been inappropriate by a sizable portion of the atheist community and to the public at large.[6] The Elevatorgate controversy caused a lot of deep rifts within the Western atheism population (See: Atheist factions).
In December of 2013, the atheist blogger Jack Vance at the Atheist Revolution website called July 2, 2011, which is the day that Elevatorgate occurred, "The day the atheist movement died."[7]
Numerous atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead" or that it is dying.[8] In 2019, a writer at Freethought Blogs wrote: "Last month I looked at some postmortems of the atheist movement...".[9] See also: Decline of the atheist movement
