"Once again, Nugent, a great piece. While I’m starting to agree with Rawlinson that there are huge swathes of the online atheist community that simply can not be reasoned with, your work here is still valuable." - Atheist commenting at atheist Michael Nugent's website[1]


"The problem, as identified by almost every mainstream outsider-looking-in, is sexism; it’s harassment of women; it’s the tacit support of this by many of high profile figures in atheism; and it’s the awful comments by Dawkins on twitter regarding rape, disability and feminism. This has discredited the Atheist movement, likely for good. It’s over. Mention of Dawkins in public now induces a pained cringe at best." - Atheist commenting at atheist Michael Nugent's website[2]

"Did anyone on Dawkins AMA ask how he feels about singlehandedly destroying the atheist movement with the Dear Muslima yet?"[3] - Atheist activist and blogger Jen McCreight post at Twitter on November 26, 2013

On September 27, 2014 in a blog post entitled The Atheist Disillusionment, the prominent atheist PZ Myers declared:

“ I will make a prediction, right here and now.... The number of people identifying as atheists will stagnate or even shrink, because organized atheism is happily in the process of destroying itself with regressive social attitudes, scandals, and their bizarre focus on irrelevant metaphysical differences that don’t help people...

Unless we change.

I don’t know that we can.[4]
