American atheism suffers major beatings for 7 years

In June 2016, American Interest reported:

First of all, religious belief is still very powerful and widespread, and there is nothing inevitable about its decline. In fact, the proportion of people who say they believe in God actually ticked modestly upward, from 86 percent to 89 percent, since Gallup last asked the question in 2014.

Post Elevatorgate (a July 2011 controversy in which atheist Richard Dawkins was accused of misogny), there has been a lot of friction with the atheist movement (see: Atheist factions).

At the American Atheists 2018 convention, David Silverman, ex-president of the American Atheists organization, gave a speech entitled, "How the mighty get back up". The speech alluded to the pro-religious rights agenda of the Trump administration (See: Donald Trump and American atheists). During the speech Silverman said regarding American atheists, "We are suffering a level of defeatism that I have never seen before". (See: Decline of the atheist movement). Later in 2018, Silverman was fired due to allegations of financial conflicts and sexual assault (see also: Atheism and sexism)

At the 2018 American Atheists convention, the ex-president of the American Atheist organization David Silverman declared:

It is a hard time to be an atheist activist. This has affected us. And it has affected our community...

...it has really affected us. We are suffering a level of defeatism that I have never seen before...

We feel the loss. And we feel like we have lost. We feel like we lost the election... We see this cascade of attack coming down at us over and over from all different directions and we feel like it's over. I have heard so many times it makes me sick. It makes me sad. It feels like we lost.

The apathy that follows. It doesn't matter. We can't win anyways. It's useless to fight. This apathy is infecting us. It's hurting us.

And people are reacting to each other now. And so that is causing a division. Lots and lots of division in our movement. Hard, bad division... And that has resulted in a splintering and factioning of the movement that I have never seen before and none of us have.

In other words, we're in a bad situation and it's getting worse.

Rationalwiki is a wiki run by atheists/agnostics who are politically left leaning. It is predominantly run by "social justice warriors" (SJWs). A Rationalwiki editor who goes by the username ikanreed wrote on October 31, 2018 in relation to the declining editing of their wiki and the decline of the atheist/skeptic movement:

I think it's the massive reputation blow skepticism and rationalism itself has taken over the coarse of the last... I don't know, let's say 4 years... The intellectual clout of rationalism has suffered dramatically, look at the way people talk about skeptics today versus 5 years ago.

Numerous atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead" or that it is dying (see: Decline of the atheist movement)

Is evolution the foundation of modern biology? Have staunch evolutionists thought this through?

A few questions:

1. Is evolution the foundation of modern biology like many militant evolutionists/atheists claim?

2. Is modern biology founded on experiments?

3. Is empirical science founded on experiments?

4. Ernst Mayr was a Harvard biologist and served as director of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology from 1961 to 1970.Mayr was a prominent evolutionist and was referred to as "the Darwin of the 20th century".

Ernst Mayr used the term "macroevolution" and considered it to be a useful scientific term.. The term macroevolution applies mainly to the notion of evolution of whole taxonomic groups over long periods of time.

In 1988, Ernst Mayr wrote in his essay Does Microevolution Explain Macroevolution?:which declared:

Among all the claims made during the evolutionary synthesis, perhaps the one that found least acceptance was the assertion that all phenomena of macroevolution can be ‘reduced to,' that is, explained by, microevolutionary genetic processes. Not surprisingly, this claim was usually supported by geneticists but was widely rejected by the very biologists who dealt with macroevolution, the morphologists and paleontologists. Many of them insisted that there is more or less complete discontinuity between the processes at the two levels—that what happens at the species level is entirely different from what happens at the level of the higher categories. Now, 50 years later the controversy remains undecided. ...In this respect, indeed, macroevolution as a field of study is completely decoupled from microevolution

The prominent British evolutionist Dr. Roger Lewin commented after the 1980 University of Chicago conference entitled “Macroevolution”:

“The central question of the Chicago conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution. … At the risk of doing violence to the positions of some of the people at the meeting, the answer can be given as a clear, No.” [Emphasis added]
Dr. Roger Lewin, “Evolution Theory under Fire,” Science. Vol. 210, 21 November 1980. p. 883-887

Was Ernst Mayr wrong when he used the word "macroevolution" in the way he used it? If the term "macroevolution" is wrong-headed, then why was there a conference on it at the University of Chicago? Is the University of Chicago run by creationists?

5. Has there ever been one experiment showing macroevolution happening?

6. If modern biology is founded on experiments and there have been no macroevolution experiments, then how can evolution be the foundation of modern biology? Wishful thinking on the part of evolutionists?

2015 was a terrible year for internet atheism

Was 2015 a TERRIBLE year for internet atheism? If you are a militant, internet atheist, should you be depressed?

Given the sparsity of atheist churches and atheist conferences/mettings compared to Christtendom, the internet is the place where atheists continue to gather.

So how is internet atheism/agnosticism doing?

The numbers are in and 2015 was a TERRIBLE year for internet atheism and agnosticism.

Welcome to the 21st century atheists. A century of desecularization! For more information, please read the article Desecularization

What's the problem internet atheists? Cat got your tongue?

Internet atheists, are you creating less web content? Finding it hard to write something interesting on atheism because it is a very boring topic? See: Atheism is uninspiring Are you dispirited and unmotivated? Cat got your tongue perhaps?

Or you are still busy beavers spewing forth the same amount of web content, but fewer people in the world are interested in your atheist tripe? See: Unattractiveness of atheism

I think the best explanation is that atheists are dispirited and fewer people want to read atheist web content.

Worldwide, the march of religion can probably only be reversed by a renewed, self-aware secularism. Today, it appears exhausted and lacking in confidence... Secularism's greatest triumphs owe less to science than to popular social movements like nationalism, socialism and 1960s anarchist-liberalism. Ironically, secularism's demographic deficit means that it will probably only succeed in the twenty-first century if it can create a secular form of 'religious' enthusiasm." - the agnostic professor Eric Kaufmann, Birbeck College, University of London, UK, 2010

One thing for certain. The internet is not going to save global atheism from desecularization in the 21st century.

Uneducated and illiterate American atheists

In the United States, due to more women and southerners attending college/universities, atheism is now negatively correlated with education. Also, given the significant high school dropout rates of many evolution indoctrinating public schools, this negative correlation is not entirely surprising.

As a result, American atheists contribute some of the most ill-informed/uneducated commentary on the internet.

Alexa indicates that 5.01% search traffic of the American Atheists website comes from a misspelling of the word atheist

Alexa is a popular web traffic tracking company. Below is a portion of Alexa's site overview for the website of the American Atheists organization and notice that 5.01% of their search engine traffic comes from the keyword "athiest" which is a misspelling of the world atheist.

From the Alexa website on October 17, 2014:

Embarrassing incident concerning the website of the American Atheists

From the blog post: More proof that atheism is ignorant. American Atheists organization badly embarrasses itself:

Shockofgod released a humorous video entitled Proof atheism & evolution are stupid which is featured below.

On the video, he first did a Google search at Google USA for the word "atheism". The #1 search result for atheism was for the website of the American Atheists organization and they misspelled the words "separation" and "church" on the main page title tag for their website. The title of their website reads: "Supporting Civil Rights for Atheists and the Seperation of Curch and ...". Did the American Atheist organization's webmaster go to one of the many evolution indoctrinating public schools with a high drop out rate? It appears so!

Is it any wonder that the American Atheists organization has been silent concerning the 15 questions for evolutionists of the Question Evolution! Campaign? Besides being poor spellers the American Atheists organization's staff is probably poor when it comes to science as well!

In addition, on the video by Shockofgod there is a discussion with evolutionists concerning the 15 questions for evolutionists where an atheists claims that creationists are allegedly buying the alleged transitional fossils and hiding them (See the blog post:
Evolutionist claims creationists are buying up alleged transitional fossils and then hiding them from the public!).

July 2, 2011: The day the atheism movement died on the information superhighway

Richard Dawkins is still widely criticized for igniting deep fractures in the atheist movement through his Elevatorgate scandal.

For example, on November 26, 2013, the atheist activist and blogger Jen McCreight posted at Twitter the message: "Did anyone on Dawkins AMA ask how he feels about singlehandedly destroying the atheist movement with the Dear Muslima yet?" In December of 2013, atheist Jack Vance at Atheist Revolution called July 2, 2011, which is the day that Elevatorgate occurred, "The day the atheist movement died."

Yes, my atheist friends, July 2, 2011 is the day that the atheist movement died on the information superhighway. I did not come to honor the atheism movement in this blog post, but to bury it. Those whose movement's come alive by the information superhighway, die by the information superhighway.

A new symbol for atheism

At the present time, there is no universally accepted symbol for atheism.

Given the significant amount of evidence indicating that atheism is a causal factor for obesity (see: Atheism and obesity) and given the significant number of prominent atheists who are overweight, below is a perfect symbol for atheism:

A new symbol for atheism: Cheese cake
