'''Atheism plus''' is a largely defunct faction of atheism which holds to a [[liberal]]/[[progressivism|progressive]] political agenda. It encouraged progressive atheists to also focus on additional issues beyond atheism - including the issues of [[social justice]], [[feminism]], anti-[[racism]], and LGBTQ issues. Atheist plus partly developed out of the atheist and political ideology of [[Freethought]] blogs and was partly a response to the [[New Atheism]] and to the [[Elevatorgate]] controversy.
