Conservapedia and the day that has been called the day the atheist movement died

Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins declared "Christianity may actually be our best defence against aberrant forms of religion that threaten the world".[12][13] See also: Richard Dawkins and Islam

Numerous atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead" or that it is dying.[14] In 2019, a writer at Freethought Blogs wrote: "Last month I looked at some postmortems of the atheist movement...".[15] See also: Morale of the atheist movement

The new atheist Richard Dawkins is still widely criticized for igniting deep fractures in the atheist movement through his Elevatorgate scandal (see: Decline of the atheist movement and Atheist factions).

For example, on November 26, 2013, the atheist activist and blogger Jen McCreight posted at Twitter the message: "Did anyone on Dawkins AMA ask how he feels about singlehandedly destroying the atheist movement with the Dear Muslima yet?"[16] In December of 2013, atheist Jack Vance at Atheist Revolution called July 2, 2011, which is the day that Elevatorgate occurred, "The day the atheist movement died."[17]

On July 24, 2020, the atheist PZ Myers wrote about atheism: "Deep rifts, ongoing fragmentation, and crumbling reputations seems to be the order of the day in atheism."[18] See also: Atheist organizations and scandals and Atheist scandals

Prior to the Elevatorgate scandal, which was a scandal involving the New Atheist Richard Dawkins vs. feminists, Monica Shores' Ms. Magazine article titled Will “New Atheism” Make Room For Women? criticized the News Atheism movement for being sexist.[19] 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."[19]

In addition, prior to Elevatorgate, Conservapedia created the Richard Dawkins and women and Atheism and women articles.

Conservapedia helped put Richard Dawkins on the feminist radar.

Post Elevatorgate controversy, the new atheist Richard Dawkins has seen a significant loss of public influence (see: Richard Dawkins' loss of influence).

The article Internet atheism: The thrill is gone! points out that internet atheism has been in a significant slump since 2011.
