Yeah I never really understood how that happened either. Because my strong atheism led me to the obvious conclusion that western society is bad.
If opposition to religion is one of your core beliefs how the fuck could you end up at the conclusion of “Actually the societies created by the Christian church are the best”?? A large part of the reason western society sucks so bad is because of Christianity

If you get your Atheism from Anton Chekhov or Simone De Beauvoir maybe. But Christopher Hitchens is going to offer very different vibes.

Because everyone knows that foreigners are savages and only upper class white male intellectuals are advanced enough to get beyond religion. And they're all Christians by default, because Christianity is the religion that's open-minded enough to allow for Atheism. So if everyone was Christian first, rather than some barbaric heathen religion, we could eventually do more Atheism under the tutelage of Wise White Men Masters.
I think there was a middle step. In between that, we heard how Muslims were just as bad as if not worse than Christians. There also was the Obama years where the religious right kinda went into retreat (I know that is simplifying it), which I think led to Muslims being an easier target.
