On the [[Atheists for Liberty]] website the atheist Thomas Sheedy wrote in a 2021 article entitled ''Ten years after Elevatorgate | What we should learn from our past mistakes'':
{{Cquote|Over the past eight years, I have seen:
*Millions of dollars once belonging to world-renowned [[atheist organizations]] were lost.
*[[Atheist conferences|Conferences]], some once having numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands, dead.
*Some of the most horrific and superstitious belief systems defended in the name of [[woke]]ness
*Organizers of events facing real harassment because they dared to have “[[Political correctness|politically incorrect]]” speakers, speakers who were seen as ordinary, non-sexist, [[New Atheism|New Atheist]] types just a few years prior
*The movement’s professionalism fade away in the name of this infiltration
*Ex Muslims disregarded by movement organizers in the United States
*A friend’s life, once respected as a bold, national figure in the movement, is destroyed by false allegations lobbed against him. He nearly committed suicide.<ref>[https://www.atheistsforliberty.org/06/03/ten-years-after-elevatorgate-what-we-should-learn-from-our-past-mistakes/ Ten years after Elevatorgate | What we should learn from our past mistakes] by Thomas Sheedy, [[Atheist for Liberty]] website, June 3, 2021</ref>}}
