There is one thing I have noticed. EJamesW has lost a lot of his atheist swagger since he first edited Conservapedia. Of course, we all know why (See: [[Essay: A British atheist on Conservapedia's atheism articles]]).
You wrote: "Jpatt, haven't you realised this website is having a joke at Christian right-wing extremists' expense? Just read the comments section. I'm afraid this is an example of Poe's Law in action. It's worrying you can't recognise the difference." EJamesW (talk) 16:33, 28 August 2015 (EDT)
There are 58,000 plus page views to the satire [[Essay: 10 telltale signs you are an atheist nerd]]. People are laughing at geeky atheist nerds who are turned down over and over by the ladies (Unlike Christian athletes. See: [[Sports performance: Religious faith vs. atheism]]).

"Worldwide, the march of religion can probably only be reversed by a renewed, self-aware secularism. Today, it appears exhausted and lacking in confidence... Secularism's greatest triumphs owe less to science than to popular social movements like nationalism, socialism and 1960s anarchist-liberalism. Ironically, secularism's demographic deficit means that it will probably only succeed in the twenty-first century if it can create a secular form of 'religious' enthusiasm." - the agnostic professor Eric Kaufmann, Birbeck College, University of London, UK, 2010[http://www.sneps.net/uploadsepk/JQR%20Demography.pdf]
