Changes

But sometimes a certain amount of conflict can have good effects. For example, thanks to a recent User: Conservative vs. RW User: AceMcWicked battle, I did some research into how much Google traffic that atheist websites are getting and found a recent big downturn due to the pandemic and so I created the [[Atheism and the coronavirus pandemic]] and updated Conservapedia's [[Internet atheism]] and [[Internet evangelism: Christians vs. atheists]] articles. In addition, I started to think more about the various reasons why internet Christianity was doing so much better than internet atheism as far as web traffic. And so I created the [[Internet outreach and the Matthew effect: Atheist websites vs. religious websites]] article.

With that being said, in retrospect, knowing what I know about marketing and societies, I should have realized that [[New Atheism]] (And its attendant relatively short-lived [[atheist movement]]. See: [[Decline of the atheist movement]]) was a marketing campaign driven fad and that all fads die rather quickly. Atheism is old and there was very little new about New Atheism which was driven by a publicity/marketing campaign centered around some books written by Richard Dawkins, Christoper Hitchens, etc. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:58, July 31, 2022 (EDT)
