Atheists are living in denial about Conservpedia's atheism articles
Atheists have tried to pretend that Conservapedia's atheism content is only reinforcing the opinions of Christian fundamentalists and nobody else take the material seriously. Yet, this is obviously not true.
Conservapedia was founded by Andy Schlafly who is the son of the late anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly. Yet, even the feminist Monica Shores quoted Conservapedia's material related to the new atheist Richard Dawkins. Pre-Elevatorgate controversy, her Ms. Magazine article titled Will “New Atheism” Make Room For Women? was one of the first articles criticizing the New Atheism movement for being sexist.[4] She also cited Conservapedia in her article and indicated: "The lack of lady presence is so visible that Conservapedia commented on it by noting that Dawkins’ website overwhelmingly attracts male visitors."[5]
