→The day Elevatorgate occurred has been called the day the atheist movement died
Richard Dawkins is still widely criticized for igniting deep fractures in the atheist movement via his Elevatorgate scandal. For example, on November 26, 2013, the atheist activist and blogger [[Jen McCreight]] posted at Twitter the message: "Did anyone on Dawkins AMA ask how he feels about singlehandedly destroying the [[atheist movement]] with the Dear Muslima yet?"<ref>[https://twitter.com/jennifurret/status/405391218273554433 Jennifer McCreight on the Twitter about the Elevatorgate scandal]</ref> In December of 2013, atheist Jack Vance at Atheist Revolution called July 2, 2011, which is the day that Elevatorgate occurred, "The day the atheist movement died."<ref>[http://www.atheistrev.com/2013/12/the-day-atheist-movement-died.html The Day the Atheist Movement Died] by Jack Vance at Atheist Revolution</ref>

A blogger at the popular Christian YouTube video maker [[Shockofgod]]'s blog quipped:
{{cquote|Yes, my atheist friends, July 2, 2011 is the day that the atheist movement died on the information superhighway. I did not come to honor the atheism movement in this blog post, but to bury it. Those whose movement's come alive by the information superhighway, die by the information superhighway.<ref>[http://shockawenow.blogspot.com/2014/09/july-2-2011-day-atheism-died-on.html July 2, 2011: The day the atheism movement died on the information superhighway, Shockawenow blog, September 30, 2014</ref>}}
