Yeah. Most of the New Atheist celebrities were/are reactionary assholes, but the threat was and remains real. Half the country is now under the dominion of theocratic Christian Fascism. The Christians can protest that it's not their fault all they want, but the simple fact is that they didn't take out their trash and now it's everyone's problem.

Add to that - Catholics, the second largest religious group in the US after protestants, are fully complicit in killing Roe, a great deal of censorship imposed under the facade of protecting children, and Columbus Day.

Religion, specifically Christianity in the US, is a real and immediate threat to the life and wellbeing of everyone in this country. We lost the paltry abortion rights we had and it's directly because of collusion between Christian Fascists and Catholics. If they don't want to be condemned by Atheists they need to get out of politics entirely.
