[[Militant atheism|Militant atheists]] gave mouth the mouth resuscitation to the [[Decline of the atheist movement|dead carcass of the atheist movement]], but it was to no avail.

[[Christianity]] has the glorious [[resurrection of Jesus Christ]]. Atheists merely have the dead atheist movement. ]]
The [[New Atheism|new atheist]] [[Richard Dawkins]] is still widely criticized for igniting deep fractures in the [[atheist movement]] through his [[Elevatorgate]] scandal (see: [[Decline of the atheist movement]] and [[Atheist factions]]).
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 [[Richard Dawkins' Elevatorgate comments#Richard Dawkins initial Elevatorgate comments - Dear Muslima letter|Dear Muslima]] yet?"<ref>[https://twitter.com/jennifurret/status/405391218273554433 Jennifer McCreight on Twitter about the Elevatorgate scandal destroying the atheist movement], [[Jen McCreight]], Twitter</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>
On July 24, 2020, the [[atheism|atheist]] [[PZ Myers]] wrote about atheism: "Deep rifts, ongoing fragmentation, and crumbling reputations seems to be the order of the day in atheism."<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2020/07/24/i-dont-even-know-whats-going-on-in-atheism-anymore/ I don’t even know what’s going on in atheism anymore] by [[PZ Myers]]</ref> See also: [[Atheist organizations and scandals]] and [[Atheist scandals]]
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 essay, but to bury it. Those whose movement's [[Internet atheism|come alive by the information superhighway]], die by the information superhighway.
