The atheist [[PZ Myers]], quoting fellow [[leftism|leftist]] Alex Nichols, said that jibes associating outspoken atheists with neckbeards (among other things) caused many [[liberal]]s/leftists to leave the atheist tent and those who remained for the most part lacked in social skills and self-awareness.<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2017/10/17/poisoning-of-a-movement/ Poisoning of a movement] by PZ Myers</ref>  See also: [[Atheism and social outcasts]]

According to an international study done by William Bainbridge, [[atheism]] is frequent among people whose interpersonal social obligations are weak and is also linked to lower fertility rates in advanced industrial nations (See also: [[Atheism and fertility rates]]).<ref> Bainbridge, William (2005).

Jacques Rousseau wrote in the ''Daily Maverick'': "[[Elevatorgate]]..has resulted in three weeks of infighting in the [[Atheist Population|secular community]]. Some might observe that we indulge in these squabbles fairly frequently."<ref>[http://dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2011-07-13-sticks-and-stones-may-break-my-bones-but-words-can-rip-my-soul Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can rip my soul]</ref>
