    They're still Americans.

    A lot of skeptics movements came out of that time, too. They're not nearly as visible, being more local and regional, but there was more too it than just the reactionary New Athiests.

      My perspective on this is always going to be colored by being a tumblr sjw in 2012-2014 I think where like, New Athiests were one of the worst enemies imaginable. Not that tumblr sjws were a religious bunch we criticized the reactionary element but still like, the leading anti-SJWs of the time were mostly New Athiests so in my head they became the enemy.

      The perspective from other corners is good to have though. I can change my views, but my background is always going to be in my head.
