:::Actually, if you go to [https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/rationalwiki.org  Alexa's page on RW] and look at their referral traffic from websites other than Google, it is certainly possible that fairly often they are preaching to the secular leftist choir and often serving as an echo chamber. On the other hand, Conservapedia's referral traffic from other websites which can be see at [https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/conservapedia.com CP Alexa], indicates Conservapedia's traffic from websites other than Google is often from far/center left websites.  In addition, Conservapedia's collection of atheism articles is receiving hundreds of thousands of page views.

:::I do know that before [[Richard Dawkins]] was essentially stripped of his public influence by feminists, ''Ms. Magazine'' quoted Conservapedia indicating that most of Richard Dawkins' website traffic was from males. In addition, Conservapedia's articles demonstrating that women are often treated badly by male atheists received a notable amount of traffic. So perhaps, Conservapedia helped stoke anti-Dawkins feminist animus prior to him making his [[Elevatorgate]] gaffe that greatly inflamed feminists against him. Elevatorgate played a huge role in causing the death/decline of the atheist movement (see: [[Decline of the atheist movement]]).

If you asked 99.99999999999999999999 (etc. etc. to nearly infinity) of the American population who Ace McWicked is, they would have a blank face. The truth is that other than Edmund Hillary most Americans have never heard of any people from NZ who ever have lived. Ace McWicked has zero influence on editors of Conservapedia. On the other hand, there are gentlemen at a certain wiki who remain obsessed with Conservapedia (see: [[Essay: Conservapedia obsessive compulsive disorder]]). And a quick examination of Ace McWicked's posts indicate that Conservapedia's various articles on the [[Atheism and morality|immoral acts of atheists]] are a bee in his bonnet. I have enjoyed poking fun at the various follies of Ace McWicked though. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 13:15, 17 April 2019 (EDT)

:::In addition, a lot of Conservapedia's web traffic comes from the USA. When you look at [https://examiningatheism.blogspot.com/2018/09/2018-american-atheists-convention.html this excerpt from the speech of the 2018 American Atheists convention] and see that survey data from the last 10 years or so indicates that American's negative view of atheists have sharpened (See: [[Views on atheists]]), it could be argued that Conservapedia has had a deleterious/negative effect on American atheism (and perhaps other geographic areas as well given that Conservapedia's collection of atheism articles is getting hundreds of thousands of page views). Of course, it could also be argued that Trump's election and the obnoxiousness of [[New Atheism|new atheists]] and the amount of annoying internet atheists before the New Atheism movement died mainly caused these situations ([[internet atheism]] has waned).[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:56, 17 April 2019 (EDT)
