Militant atheism just got too self-rightious for it's own good. That coupled with the diminishing influence of religion, plus the fact that a lot of the figureheads of the "movement" ended up becoming rightwing grifters, makes it a pretty easy target for hate and mockery.

It's all a game of aesthetics. When atheists were in-vogue in the early 2000s, they came off as cool educated guys dunking on rednecks and pedo priests. Then they started losing favour when their aesthetic transformed into
>rainbow-haired, vitriolic, out-of-shape fatasses scream very loudly about something while being very smug about it.
Granted, their predecessors were pretty smug, but they weren't rainbow-haired, limp-wristed fatsos. Who wants to associate with them? You can extrapolate this to Left vs. Right in the modern age and why conservatism/traditionalism is gaining popularity. People just don't want to associate with the aesthetic of progressives, they look and sound too cringe, even if they espouse things which past ages have considered to be noble. In other words, the LGBTXYSNFDLKNFLKFGN and third-wave feminists are what's killing atheism's optics.

Atheists are like those schoolyard bullies that only go for the kids they know won’t defend themselves, you think those neck beards have the balls to go after someone that could beat the crap out of them? It’s why they only went for Christianity because they knew Christians would turn the other cheek, they never went after Judaism because they knew they would be expelled.

I think there are two currents of opposition to New Atheism and they have to be analysed separately.
>left wing
I remember that initially leftists were very enthusiastic about New Atheists until few New Atheists exposed themselves as commited social Darwinists and extreme naturalists. Dawkins' comments on gender and race (famous trans-racialism debate), Harris' mild Islamophobia and catering to right wingers like Douglas Murray and Hitchens' opposition to abortion (it's of note that his leftist credentials seemed to be the most impeccable of all Four Horsemen) are cases in point. It certainly didn't help that New Atheism seemed to have an elective affinity with libertarianism and unrestricted capitalism and seemed to attract the type of person that would lurk 4chan prior to 2012 - hardly a target demographic for the left. This guy does a better job of explaining how the left turned its back on New Atheism
https://thecritic.co.uk/why-is-atheism-no-longer-cool/
>right wing
This should be well known to anyone who has been lurking 4chan for a long time but basically these people started to realize that religion is necessary to maintain social cohesion and avoid going down the path towards nihilism. The culmination of this strain are the metamorphose that 4chan underwent between 2012 and 2016 and whose echoes resound on all boards to this day and popularity of figures like Jordan Peterson and Bishop Barron.

I think the truth of the matter is a combination of bits of all the posts made in this thread so far. They all touch upon grains of truth, from sociological to ontological, and when put together they form a bigger picture.

Here's how I see it myself: Do I think people can live righteously without believing in some sort of god(s)? Absolutely. Will they? most of them won't, at least. The belief in supreme, higher entities that you could dedicate yourself to is an easy way to cultivate a sense of purpose and justice in life, and more importantly than that, it's a fast-pass ticket to forming a cohesive, tightly-knit social unit. From what I've seen, and having lived in a highly religious country for most of my life, the benefits of religion are best exemplified in its social effects rather than spiritual effects. You have a group, they all share moral values, they all share cultural background, and they all share a similar ontological stance on life. When you introduce atheism into the mix, things a lot less cohesive and far more blurry. Without a belief in absolute transcendental laws, you'll have a much harder time asserting any sort of moral values, you'll get ontological stances up the wazoo, and culture starts losing its weight when people have to rethink the last hundreds of years of their history. It is essentially anti-establishment, but people need an establishment to belong to together, as humans are naturally highly-social creatures, having a sense of community is integral to sustaining ourselves lest we risk extreme disenfranchisement (NOTE: secularity is not the sole factor in this, it's just one of many). Frankly, total freedom is a burden, and not one that many people find beauty in when put to practice. Even secularists need something to latch onto amongst a group of their peers.

he's completely right and the thread demonstrates it. people here argue for their own religiosity from within some sort of materialistic-utilitarian or aesthetic perspective. internet "christianity" is not real belief but a lifestyle choice that competes with other lifestyle choices via memes denigrating or extolling the members of a given group. i'm gonna join a church because it's less "cringe" than opening my mouth really wide to marvel movie trailers etc etc. the medium is the message and so what spreads over the internet is not religion but a religiosity fandom.

Religion as a means of achieving lawful behavior is not any better than the law. Religious people murdered each other just the same as we murder each other today. Religion was slightly better as a social binder but the reason why our society's social fabric is completely destroyed is mostly the result of forced multi-culturalism. Technically you could achieve the same kind of social unity that religion provides through some other thing, like nationalism. That's not the point. The point of religion is to give life a meaning, which none of the sciences nor philosophy, nor the law, nor anything else can provide.
I used to think of religion as some kind of element of order but this utilitarian, socio-political vision of it makes no real sense, or at least that's not the core of it.

Humans are just too cowardly to accept that there's nothing objective about their lives and thoughts. That there's no higher framework to their existence and the world around them, so they invent one in order not to lose their shit at the infinite expanse presented before them. You can cope by replying with soijaks, but it won't make it not true. Nothing binds us to anything. As >>18680816 mentioned, in reality you have the complete freedom to create whatever you want, and follow any path you want. There will be external resistances to that, like the power of the state and the judgment of your peers, but internally, you are completely free, and no one wants to believe that, because it takes a lot of effort and courage to embrace a life like that, so you might as well believe in something bigger and more righteous than you.

Let me reminder you atheists what your patron saint, Richard Dawkins, said in his best-selling book, The Selfish Gene.
Culture can be broken down into memes, bits of cultural information that behave like living organisms. They are born, mutate and die depending on how useful or entertaining they are.
Atheism is dying because it’s neither useful nor entertaining while religiosity is.
You are getting filtered out by your own ideology.

I was having a thought about that earlier this morning. There's no objective reality. There's a degree of truth, which is what science figured out so far, and that's rather impressive, but reality isn't truth. My perception is definitely different than someone else's, despite physics being the same for both. And at the same time the sciences do not even bother to point out what reality is. Ultimately, all possibilities are open. Science doesn't know shit about the universe still, so we could be living in a simulation, or find out 10000 years in the future that the universe is entirely deterministic. We don't know anything about reality. So if we know noting about reality, and we will very likely never find out as a species throughout the aeons even in we focus our entire existence on that, because we'll never be sure, what does it matter if someone becomes religious and embraces God. And since even that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what God you choose either. The only sensible indicator of what is right at this point becomes what fulfills the need of someone else once your individual need is fulfilled (personally, religion = meaning) so what is someone supposed to get from a religion if not a community? So a man should just belong to his community's religious group, but today this religious group either doesn't exist or it doesn't take its own faith seriously. Basically, it's impossible to find a religion on any other sphere but the personal one in this society.

You don't see how the former follows from the latter? "It must be true" is going to run into a lot of obstacles for the modern hyperconnected individual, who is surely aware of competing religions which contradict one another, not to mention the lack of evidence for any of them which he usually relies on for is other opinions. But it can be made believable if you have a motive, and the motive here is a kind of romantic nostalgia, or less charitably, a cargo cult mentality, aimed at bringing back the based society to defeat the cringe society. And once you're thinking in terms of politics you've poisoned the entire thing; religion becomes downstream of you and your tastes as a democratic consumer, believed in for its use value as a battering ram or palisade, not for any sort of truth value, because you've subordinated truth to outcomes which benefit you. Bad faith stinks from a mile away.

Not him but no, it's not like that. The vast majority of people here who LARP as religious do not actually have any real faith in anything, just like the commies whom they blame for destroying the world. They do nothing but proselytize on the internet because they are otherwise incapable of religious action. Modern religiosity exists in opposition to liberal politics, homosexuality, and whatnot. It's not a positive force for the majority of the tradLARPers here. nor it is for the clergy who buys ads on Google to predate on desperate people who google "suicide".

This can be stretched to include morality itself too. What are morals but a product of need and a desire to glue together a community? But the need itself isn't enough of a justification, so we project its weight onto larger constructs (e.g. god, the nation, the environment, etc.) because apparently, our needs are just not good enough to live by.

Low birthrates are a kind of bio-potlach. What could be a greater sacrifice than ending one's bloodline as a display of wealth? As if to say "I have no need for children, I have my degrees, pets, collectibles, investment portfolios, expensive housing, gig-servants, and so forth, none of which are to be put to use enriching my clan, I shall squander my wealth in a frenzy of consooming!" To which the other first worlder says, "Ah but have you seen my degrees, pets, collectibles, investment portfolios, expensive housing, gig-servants, and so forth, for I shall not use these to increase myself either!" And on the margin, the third worlder says "I wish to acquire this power, so I shall go north and my children may participate in such rites."

Islam being inherently radical and becoming violent when you talk shit is ironically the very reason why it will be the last religion standing before the globohomo inevitably takes its head as well. It's not that they're making lots of kids. If they were Christian all those kids would transition easily into religion-less post-modern life.
The first step to kill a religion is to convince the masses that it's OK not to take it 100% seriously all the time. Give it a little work and everyone will just laugh at it more than they take it seriously. Then they'll laugh at people who take it seriously at all.

i don't think that's always the case, and even if it was it would still be a subjection of the truth of divine revelation to empirical testing and therefore, you know, not actually religious. genuine belief would not be contingent on scientifically measuring the results of adopting it.

an issue with talking about modern religion is that religion often justifies itself with its age, so old religious symbols get reused by new movements to gain legitimacy, like some wiccan chick that pretends all the witches that got burned back in the day were her predecessors. when that happens within a still-existing religion you can have entirely new mindsets emerging under the guise of the old cult symbols and terms, with people believing themselves to be "christian" or whatever even if their perspective would be entirely alien to a believer from a couple of centuries ago. a person who insists that the turin shroud is full of objectively measurable jesus radiation is not a christian but some sort of new-age ufo cultist who just calls the ufos "jesus", but his wacky theories will get lumped in with actual faith. same with the internet political movements that decorate themselves with salvaged religious symbols and language.

The actual implications of a godless universe are just too bleak for pretty much everyone so they recreate god in various meme forms in their ideologies. The basic framework that atheism gives us to understand human existence is Darwinism and it is unbelievably unpleasant.

Politics heated up in the 2010s obviously so the ideologies as they became more prominent and were submitted to critique became hostile to atheism which is clearly corrosive to both left and right.

Kek I was subscribed to TAA for most of my teen years as well. I considered religion as something that only uneducated dimwits took seriously. I even read like half of the Antichrist by Nietzsche and some parts of the book where he says that the good is whatever increases the feeling of power. I had basically resigned myself to leading a life of cheap pleasures and developed several addictions. During the lockdown I started to take the idea of faith more seriously, and the general Christian worldview became more appealing to me. Unironically a couple of Jay Dyer’s debates helped me to realise that relativism and empiricism/materialism weren’t really viable positions. Currently I’d say that I’m closer to Christianity than agnosticism. Also the fact that atheists weren’t really interested in putting forward a positive and authoritative perspective on life was a strike against atheism. In general I’d say that the loss of faith in the past ~300 years of Western society has had more negative effects than good. Visiting the third world and meeting people who were generally more spiritually healthy was eye-opening as well. Sure they have to deal with water shortages and crushing dictatorships but at least they see their lives as important in the grand scheme of things

confusion maybe, but this is just schizophrenic contradition, it's straight up doublethink. I am a precious, irreplaceable and unique individual but at the same time I have to adjust my morality, behavior, and everything else for the harmony of the collective. Religion erases all contradiction in this. You actually don't matter that much, so here's some rules, follow them.

Honestly yes. I'm not talking for everyone on this board but the vast majority of tradlarpers use Christianity like the average SJW uses pronouns or some made up sexual orientation they probably just fantasize about when they masturbate to weird porn. And just like even the tranny doesn't really believe he's a woman, and needs constant validation from others that he is, to the point where getting that validation is more important than his own personal belief that he's a woman, same thing goes for the tradLARPer. He's all about broadcasting and approval. Extremely few people are safe from the clutches of this modern culture of display as identity, and you can see the same pattern in almost every facet of identity: music, books, politics, religion, and now sex and gender, and tomorrow something else. Everything is turning into an accessory because in the culture of products and lies, nothing really matters about your own identity, all that matters is display, fashion. Because identity, the truth you know about yourself, can be fabricated at any time. So all that's left to do is be as flashy as possible. And this ties into our slow reversal into basic animal state, to the colorful dance of feather and waving of bright antennae, until even that will go, eventually, because pragmatism will take that too.

You're overthinking it, bro. Morals are created ad hoc. They're made to maximise protecting each other from hurt (at least within the in-group). This ad hoc nature will naturally create contradictions, between trying to protect the individual and make them feel good, and protecting society at large and making it feel good. The individual and the mob are separate entities after all, we know this to be true, these two entities have different needs and produce different actions.
>You're free! You're valid! You're unique!
But you cease to be all of that if it means hurting another, i.e. disturbing the social order. But exercising one's personal freedom must necessitate hurting someone or something else in some way. That's the bitter of truth it. To be free, you have to be willing to hurt. But conversely, we will all do all that we can to avoid being hurt ourselves. And therein lies the schism, the "schizo doulethink" as you put it. To break the construct, you would have to do either one of two things:
1- De-value the individual and emphasise their importance as a gear within a larger machine, instead of a being with its own interests and dignity.
2- Accepting hurting others as well as the possibility of being hurt ourselves, acknowledge your own interests and the interests of the other.
Now, as you can quickly tell, if you go with #2, modern humanity society will simply not exist in its present state, but will take on a very different form. In practice, we're really much closer to living according to #1, we're only being lied to that we're valuable as solitary entities.

What are you talking about? Jesus literally said in the gospel that his followers will be persecuted and the way to act is to resist not evil. Shortly after saying that he was persecuted by a tribunal and crucified. It's the exact opposite of needing a state to enforce a doctrine.

I think you're missing something about this picture though, the tradlarper and the sjw are signaling socially yes, but they're also genuinely searching around for something of a 'spiritual' nature and that's what their culture gave them to fix on. There are very obvious religious aspects to the sjw stuff, and I don't think they're 100% negative, there is an (imo misguided) desire to save the wretched of the world and accept some vision of the beauty of humanity and the world in that ideology, it's not purely negative even though it has harmful features. The tradlarper type is the same thing, a lot of it is posturing, even of a hateful kind, but those kids are unmistakably looking for some spiritual framework, they deeply want something that allows them to celebrate the good things in reality and relent against what is bad in their nature, even as they use it for negative purposes.

I'm not saying I really think either of these things are good but if you've ever known a sjw or trad type it's profoundly clear that they are in fact trying to reach some kind of religious feeling, at least at times. It's an impulse that almost everyone has I think.

That's a central feature of why evolution is so unsettling, you yourself are a tool, your thoughts and desires nothing but tools to compel certain behaviors. You needn't even be capable of understanding yourself for the logic to work.

Culture and civilization massively complicate the logic however and I dont believe anyone has yet been able to make an integrated theory of biological and cultural evolution, the latter basically completely lacks serious predictive and explanatory frameworks and those that do exist cannot make them fit with the former very well.

I was very interested in the 'neoreaction' people back in the 2010s because it seemed like they were trying to answer this specific question, and they said some interesting things, but ultimately they were just a bunch of bloggers and they got tied down in temporal political stuff mostly. It was an ambitious project though, applying Darwin to culture and history is clearly a potentially fruitful path, even if it probably not the whole picture.

After 11/9 it was vital to show that religion is bad and leads to nothing but terrorism. So, the US government hired some fake intellectuals to do a black PR for religion. Once this bullshit with Osama came out of fashion - there was no longer a need to fund these clowns.

>between trying to protect the individual and make them feel good, and protecting society at large and making it feel good
I don't see that. The individual is intrinsically part of society but that does not necessarily imply a contradiction. The thing with religion is that (ideally) everyone's following the same personal set of rules, and this enables society to function. Compare that to government-issued law that is aimed at protecting people with different sets of personal rules, often on terms other than morality: it's not a crime to suck 100 cocks every night as long as you don't take money for it, then it's prostitution, but when that's a problem for the law it's not so on a moral basis but instead on the grounds of social order.
Religious people are individually committed to God, because that's who they personally answer to. The law, the government, and now corporations, act like some sort of intermediary between the individual and society, and they tell lies to both about the other. It tells the individual lies about his society, and it tells society lies about the individual. What does the individual answer to? Not collectivity, which is the same collectivity he belongs to, but an intermediary to this collectivity, which he is not part of. And he's just fed lies. Not on the basis of reality (see the previous post where I said there's no reality) but because of internal discrepancies in its own discourse. One obvious thing is how I'm supposed to worry about sweatshop workers in Vietnam, when I can't really do anything about their conditions since I'm not running the sweatshop. Then I'm told I'm supposed to buy locally sourced products, but the companies move production to Vietnam because the sweatshop workers cost less. Then who is responsible for this? Society at large, the companies who represent my/society's wishes, me individually? I am called for personal responsibility and the only way to carry this out is to go AGAINST the wishes of my own society, who obviously love the low cost sweatshop products. And then companies, responsible for the sweatshop production, offer me a product that satisfies my need/responsibility, which at this point is nothing but another consumer want/tantrum. With religion, this shit is easy, you do your job. Period. It doesn't say that "society" should do something different than you. It just says: these are the rules, do this. And other people who follow the religion also do (hopefully) that. But their failings are part of a flow between individual and collectivity. If the individual fails, he fails in his personal commitment to God, not toward his society.

>the tradlarper and the sjw are signaling socially yes, but they're also genuinely searching around for something of a 'spiritual' nature and that's what their culture gave them to fix on
I disagree, unless you also concede that these people have completely lost all sense of what "spiritual" even means. Spirituality is inherently directed inwards. Even if its results may become manifest in one's behavior and actions, the spiritual search is private.
One common thing between the tradLARPer and the SJW is that they're not concerned at all with "saving the world" beyond an ideal push for consistent thought which is entirely done by opposition. In the ideal SJW world there are no "Nazis" and in the ideal tradLARPer world there are no trannies. This is why once all the Nazis are gone, the SJWs will find more Nazis among their own ranks, and so on. And the tradLARPers will find more trannies within their ranks, and so on. It's inevitable because there is no personal belief in display ideologies except the demotion of some "other". It cannot be a unity under a certain behavioral banner because if the individual has done no spiritual search and has no personal set of beliefs, he cannot imagine what the banner will look like. He can only think "I don't want THAT" and see that it is removed. You could argue that this is simply a misguided attempt to "save the world" but there's no "saved word" at the end of the SJW/tradLARPer's imagination because the last frame is blank. And unable to find that last frame where the world is saved, he continues the quest forever.

It's not that they're hated now, they just lost the narrative support that they received when they were still useful to the ones forming the narrative. They literally just got dumped by mainstream media and social engineers, they went from being paraded around as cool and intelligent guys to being mere fedoralords, which is what they were all along, it just wasn't the manicured image you were presented with when they had their place in combating Bush-era republican retardation.

Never forget : what is cool and what is hated is always dependent more on institutional backing and its whims than it is dependent on anything concrete. Tradcaths and /pol/tards would be shown off as cool and subversive dissidents against an evil regime instead of the basement dwellers that most of them are had the mainstream media have a use for them, just like '68-ers were astroturfed into being cool and rebellious by hollywood instead of merely degenerate, it's literally that simple. What percentage of people hate christianity because they read the bible or had some experience with it, and what percentage of people hate it because they saw South Park make fun of it in one episode when they were 14?

The narrative, the framing of issues, the particular optics : it's all that ever matters in mainstream discourse.

You're attacking the worst aspects of these people though, have you ever actually known one irl? They are clearly not just evil and motivated by hatred, these are popular movements, masses of normal people engage in them.

These are the means by which these people can interact with meaning in a culture that is very broken, yes it is fundamentally unsound, and yes they are giving in to the worse impulses they have in many respects, but they are still just people attempting to understand the world and find some kind of sense to it, their basic impulse is not wrong.

Left-wing New Atheists became SJWs around the time of the Fourth Great Awakening (~2013-ongoing). They soured on New Atheism because anti-Islamic sentiment within New Atheism went against the core imperative of the post-WW2 left (protecting "Victims"). Right-wing New Atheists were the progenitors of the Alt-Right. The core difference between the two is that the latter believed that God wasn't real and the former believed that God wasn't very nice.

I didn't say they were? I didn't even imply that this behavior is planned, neither on the SJW part nor the tradLARPer's side. I believe that there are malicious and cynical people in both ranks but I also believe there's some kind of genuine identity crisis at the base of this, which is normal because everyone right now is flailing helplessly in search of an identity. I'm just saying that this way to cope with a lack of identity is illusory and there's nothing spiritual in it, it's just a desperate attempt to find communion with a community through approval, mostly carried out through the ritual burning of a strawman.

Baseline is set off of precedent. Shitholes have relative stability and simple calculus. First world countries are suffering a contraction from extreme wealth to diminishing over time wealth. The psychological effects of living in a society where wealth is decreasing is more depressing than a stable shit hole. Humans aren't going to shit out kids in the middle of a crisis and our monetary system has developed purposefully into a perpetual crisis by design to limit population growth. If religious ignorance won out we would over populate the Earth and permanently destroy its life supporting systems. The powers that control the Earth's number one concern right now is peaceful depopulation methods. Depression is one of the most potent methods.

I wouldn't say it was caused by South Park. I've never watched it so I don't really know what relation it has here. I think New Atheism was more of a reaction to the Bush years than anything. Aside from the ideological split, the lack of Bush caused the whole thing to peter out.

Also, I think the
>God isn't real vs. God isn't very nice
dichotomy is the core difference between the post-Christian Left/Right. There's a Rene Girard interview where (summarizing) he describes two different forms of anti-Christianity. On one hand you have the Nazis and their descendants who more or less completely rejected "concern for victims". OTOH you have the post-war left, which in its current form is mostly a reaction to Nazism, that basically views Christianity as a failure for being insufficiently radical towards "the victim". Obviously the Left rejected Christianity first but it is rapidly being done on the Right as well, though the conflict between the two is unchanged.

95+% of atheists aren't smart enough to be atheists. Most of them don't actually know what they believe and can only vocalize it in vague concepts. When they try to express what they don't believe, they usually resort to strawmen (assuming they even make an argument). I've got nothing against someone who, being an educated and intelligent individual, has come to the conclusion there is no God. Most atheists are just too lazy or apathetic to be anything else so they parrot comedians and talk show hosts.

Your ancestors reproduced under much harsher conditions. They had sex and bore children even during the Black Plague, during wars, during famines and during natural disasters.
>The psychological effects of living in a society where wealth is decreasing
Your ancestors were infinitely poorer than you and yet they still had children. You think the psychological effects of being unable to afford more funkopops is worse than living in fear that you might drop from lethal disease or be blown to smithereens by a bomb dropping on your house?
The psychological effects you speak off are only affecting you because you turned your back on religion and embraced rationality, science and materialism. So if there is no God out there then nothing matters, right?
Nihilism sets in, the only thing you value is material wealth, your only purpose in life become self CONSOOMING and the prospect of being unable to CONSOOM in greater quantities than before is so depressing that you give up having children because they won’t be able to CONSOOM more than the previous generation.
This is the result of pursuing rationality and logic at all costs, you end up coming to completely absurd and ironically irrational conclusions like “we should depopulate the planet even thought global birth rates are going down across the board”.

Always fascinating to see theist sophistry at /lit/. An Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in the existence of god. That's it. Unlike religion it's not an organised structure with specific set of rules. Sure, there may have "atheist" groups in your country but, a Catholic in my country believes in God, prays to Jesus, listens to the Pope, just like any other Catholic. But as an Atheist I see no reason why I've to be associated with a specific"Atheist" group of your respective countries.

>Strawman
It's not a strawman you mong, its not describing a persons position, it is stating what they did/did not do.
Objective things,
>Doesnt focus on Islam
Islam is antathetical to western scientific values and is fundamentally untrust worthy due to the practice of Taqiya. People were too scared or just petered out of talking about it.

>scientism and lack of skeptism towards pharma
The fellating of science/scientists and treating people who questioned science (literally science even if done is a waterheaded way) with take down videos instead of guiding them towards enlightenment.

>Listen and Believe
Atheism+ and the new leftists struggles sessisons "cancelling" were the final nail in the movement that split the community into leftist zealots. And right wingers / grifters.

If you did even the slightest bit of research you would find that birthrates declined during all the periods you mentioned. I'm not glorifying modern wealth decay and making a false equivalence that it is somehow more harrowing than disease (kek) or war. I'm merely explaining to you that someone else did do the research, noticed the pattern, and implemented a system that would produce an adequate psychological stressor to acheive the result of diminished reproduction over a long period of time.

To reduce the effect to how it impacts frivolous consumerism is absurd ignorance. This has nothing to do with knick knacks like funko pops and everything to do with essentials like debt, home ownership, health care, retirement savings, and job stability. In modern society most of these basics are fucked by all metrics. Our friends across the pond do better, but even they are facing a crises of home ownership, retirement savings, and job stability.

But I'm arguing with a retard anyway

>This is the result of pursuing rationality and logic at all costs, you end up coming to completely absurd and ironically irrational conclusions like “we should depopulate the planet even thought global birth rates are going down across the board”

No fucking shit, sherlock. That's exactly what is happening. The fact that global birthrates are falling is evidence that the measures taken to reduce population are working. This is an ongoing project, not something started last year.

You're stupid. You're giving a baseless assumption that attributes current events to a high power, without having any proof for it. Like a prehistoric man who sees a lightning and says, "that must be Zeus being angry", you see population decline and say, "that must be the elites lowering birthrates".

Not to mention the sheer absurdity that "Earth can't support more people" when we have vast untapped lands in Africa and Asia.

They did shit on Islam, especially during the period where Europe was being hit by constant terrorist attacks and especially Sam Harris. Christopher Hitchens wrote about it in his book where he was shitting on all religions even the eastern ones.

>debunked by his own divine revelation
>>Reginald, I cannot, because all that I have written seems like straw to me

As quoted, you have take his remark out of context. This is the context:
>Such things have been revealed to me that all that I have written seems to me as so much straw.

Aquinas is setting up a comparison: his work, in comparison to a remarkable divine revelation, seems to him so much straw.

He's not saying that his work, as such, is worthless; rather, in comparison to the revelation of God, it is so much straw.

The same of course would properly be said of any human creation - whether of Shakespeare or Mozart - in comparison with God himself.

Humans need water not land. Go look at where all of human population is clustered, land doesn't mean anything. You seem hung up on the idea that our world has rulers, name a point in time in history when it did not. Just a singular time period in 10,000 years of civilization when there were not rulers.

Regardless, we're past that point even mattering much. The effects of diminshing wealth driven depopulation are all downstream from fiat currency and usury systems. Take your grievance up with a math equation, not a flesh and blood shadowy cabal. I personally hold the belief that the purpose of this system had a higher cause than pure greed. Depopulation from induced financial stress is an easy extrapolation to make from a currency system that rapidly deteriorates savings and generational wealth. Either the depopulation is just a side effect or it was the goal. I choose to believe it was the goal, but I don't claim my belief to be infallible.

Because like most people worth a damn will say, atheism is nothing but sneering and posturing ever since Dawkins and Hitchens gained prominence. What the new atheist movement is missing is actual depth in their reasoning and critique of Christianity and monotheistic religions in general, as well as being competent at reading the Bible and knowing some fundamental theological concepts. One would do a lot better if they read Nietzsche and Moby Dick and based their critique on that, rather than listening to those frauds.

Lol no popular movement has knowledge of any of this stuff anymore. It's all about superficial "criticism" now

>Why is there so much hate around the atheism movement now?

Frankly, because it never developed. It was just a type of youth contrarianism when Evangelicals were a huge political force. Intellectually, what the movement produced was literally just baby's first foray into philosophy that never bothered going anywhere further into the themes of epistemology and metaphysics that were presupposed in their overall views. I'm not even saying that atheism is false per se, just that the internet atheist movement of the 2000s turned out to be just intellectually sterile and degenerated into the I Fucking Love Science types of today.
