The overly combative atheist types that are just doing it to get a rise out of people are incredibly frustrating individuals. They're the political equivalent of "I realize something is wrong" with no theory background that will either end up critically analyzing/reading and shed reactionary takes (similar to the US radlib -> leftist progression of many people in the states- probably many people on this site went through this experience) or just they stay a reactionary who simply seeks to individualize their frustrations by lashing out at the religious nature of other people (and many of these groups ending up identifying as libertarians).

It's incredibly important for someone to emerge in the space to capture this pipeline (especially in an entity as large and globally relevant as the US) because the increasingly large non-religous population is ripe for folding these people into leftist movements (as religion and politics is increasingly intertwined). I, sadly, don't have a global perspective on this so someone else please add if you do.

That said, I genuinely do believe it's necessary to critically assess the historical damage religion has caused and the resulting power structures it creates and reinforces as well as its role in modern politics and the baggage it has brought along with it from the past. I don't think I'm capable of making that assessment as I lack the historical knowledge and evolutionary lineage of various religious beliefs to give a strong critique outside of the negative impact of modern Christianity in the US.
