Latest revision as of 21:26, July 12, 2023
RationalWiki.org is a politically left-leaning website that skews towards atheism/agnosticism in terms of its worldview. The RationalWiki website lost a huge amount of web traffic in the latter part of 2019 and throughout most the first half of 2020 (see graphics below). According to the web traffic tracking company Alexa, the website lost global market in the latter part of 2021 (see: RationalWiki and Alexa rankings). In January of 2022, SimilarWeb.com reported that the RationalWiki.org website was dropping in terms of its global ranking of web traffic (see: 2022 state of RationalWiki.org in terms of web traffic and web marketing metrics).
On May 29, 2022, one of the founders of the RationalWiki website indicated "Currently the donations we get are sparse... We have not done a donation drive in a long time and have not been self-supporting for over a year....".[4] See also: Atheism and charity and Atheist organizations and fundraising and Atheist fundraising vs. religious fundraising

Question: Are atheists tightfisted when it comes to donating money? See: Atheism and charity and Atheist organizations and fundraising and Atheist fundraising vs. religious fundraising
The USA based Christian internet evangelism organization Global Media Outreach, which indicates there have been 250,000,000 indicated decisions for Jesus Christ while people have been at their websites since their founding, had a record year in fundraising in 2021.[5]

The difficulty of fundraising for atheist organizations. Also, the problem of tightfisted atheists
See also: Atheism and charity and Atheist organizations and fundraising and Atheist fundraising vs. religious fundraising
In 2017, the atheist activist Lee Moore declared about American atheist organizations:
“ | If you look at the major atheist groups right now, like the national groups, the ones that are doing the real activist work... They are not bringing in the kind of donations they used to. Most of them are starved for cash. They're downsizing left and right. Because people aren't just giving like they used to. And I talked to a lot of the major donors out there and they said, "Well, we're kind of tired of seeing the atheist community just fight amongst itself and not really get anything done. We'd rather not give money if we don't think it's going to go somewhere."[30] | ” |
The Canadian atheist activist Pat O'Brien is a Canadian atheist, an activist, and ex-president of Humanist Canada and British Columbia Humanist Association (Secular humanism is a form of atheism). O'Brien said about the willingness atheists/humanists to support national and provincial atheist organizations: "The biggest problem is fundraising. It is difficult to get Humanists to part with their money."[31]
The atheist Hemant Mehta said about raising money from fellow nonbelievers: "Meanwhile, I’ve had one hell of a time convincing people to give to the Foundation Beyond Belief — and I help lead that organization." [32]
A comprehensive study by Harvard University professor Robert Putnam found that religious people are more charitable than their irreligious counterparts.[33][34] The study revealed that forty percent of worship service attending Americans volunteer regularly to help the poor and elderly as opposed to 15% of Americans who never attend services.[33][34] Moreover, religious individuals are more likely than non-religious individuals to volunteer for school and youth programs (36% vs. 15%), a neighborhood or civic group (26% vs. 13%), and for health care (21% vs. 13%).[33][34]
Arthur C. Brooks wrote in Policy Review regarding data collected in the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey (SCCBS) (data collected by in 2000 by researchers at universities throughout the United States and the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research):
“ | The differences in charity between secular and religious people are dramatic. Religious people are 25 percentage points more likely than secularists to donate money (91 percent to 66 percent) and 23 points more likely to volunteer time (67 percent to 44 percent). And, consistent with the findings of other writers, these data show that practicing a religion is more important than the actual religion itself in predicting charitable behavior. For example, among those who attend worship services regularly, 92 percent of Protestants give charitably, compared with 91 percent of Catholics, 91 percent of Jews, and 89 percent from other religions.[35] | ” |
ABC News reported:
“ | ...the single biggest predictor of whether someone will be charitable is their religious participation.
Religious people are more likely to give to charity, and when they give, they give more money: four times as much. And Arthur Brooks told me that giving goes beyond their own religious organization: "Actually, the truth is that they're giving to more than their churches," he says. "The religious Americans are more likely to give to every kind of cause and charity, including explicitly non-religious charities."[36] |

Study.com defines the Matthew effect thusly: "The Matthew Effect is a term that describes the concept in society of accumulated advantage. It argues that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, or skill, will have the opportunity to accrue more of that advantage compared to others. The Matthew Effect is often thought of by the phrase, "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.""[37] The Matthew effect's etymology can be traced to Gospel of Matthew which declares: "For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away." (Matthew 25:29, RSV).
Because the religious population is larger than the atheist/agnostic populations and raises more money for web marketing budgets than the atheist/agnostic populations, they greatly outperform atheist websites in terms of web traffic. In addition, Google tends to rank large websites with a lot of traffic higher at Google for various search terms - especially high volume searches. So large Christian websites with a lot of web traffic have a big competitive advantage over atheist websites. Furthermore, religious groups often have more evangelistic zeal and also have more international cooperation in terms of web outreach efforts.
As time has progressed the gap between the effectiveness of religious websites vs. atheist websites in terms of reaching larger audiences has widened and will most likely widen further. For example, Christian websites are greatly outperforming atheist websites in terms of their respective web outreaches (see: Internet evangelism: Christians vs. atheists).

The difference between God's angels and RationalWikians
RationalWikians: Under a Christian worldview, every cloud has a silver lining!
Another setback for the feminists at RationalWiki. It's still a man's world!
Another setback to libertine, secular, feminist, Hollywood values that glorify entertainment celebrities: The bisexual, atheist Amber Heard is seen shopping at TJ Maxx subsequent to losing her defamation case that Johnny Depp lodged against her.[1]
Get woke, go broke! Will Heard and her lesbian girlfriend be shopping at Walmart next?
Johnny Depps' lawyer, Camille Vasquez, is a Christian and she really did a great job of exposing the many lies of the bisexual atheist Amber Heard![2] "Amber Heard wants you to believe her lies." - Camille Vasquez[3]
Amber Heard lied when she claimed she kept her promise of donating a certain amount to charity.[4] "So as of today, you have not donated—paid—$7 million of your divorce settlement to charity, right?"- Camille Vasquez.[5] See: Atheism and uncharitableness
Setback for feminism and the Me Too Movement: The atheist Johnny Depp, who has a history of alcohol and drug abuse, wins his defamation suit against his bisexual, atheist ex-wife Amber Heard as the Me Too Movement implodes.[6]
Overall, the case dragged Hollywood through the mud and further exposed the moral bankruptcy of depraved Hollywood Values.[7] The trial very much took the sheen off of celebrity glamour. Hollywood and the proponents of secular values were the big losers in this case. See: Atheism and divorce and Atheism and alcoholism and Atheism and drug addiction
During the trial, it was revealed that the bisexual Amber Heard assaulted Johnny Depp during their relationship. See also: Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence
