Yeah I can’t take seriously statements like that. Tell me you were never hurt by these assholes and are privileged and the whole thing is academic without telling me that.
If you put reddit cringe atheists and annoying youtube manosphere sexist “skeptics” on the same tier as Evangelicals you’re just wildly uninformed and offensively ignorant. One of these is just a bunch of annoying internet nerds circle jerking, another has immense political power, a broad base of support, incredible amounts of cash, fanatical devotion, infiltration of all levels of government, literally murders people and gets away with it, literally has a thing for covering up CSA and other abuse against children and adults at industrial scale. Lives in a totally deranged false reality, substitutes wild fantasy of 4000 years old earths and rejection of pretty much all of modern science and violent anti-intellectualism and a slavish devotion to the Protestant work ethic. And has succeed in the past and present in making women second class by denying them bodily autonomy, by inculcating from birth patriarchy and misogyny propaganda, and by driving thousands of LGBTQ to despair and suicide through their social control of whole towns and communities. We could reliably peel away at least a third the disaffected young men drawn into problematic movement atheism by influencers under the right conditions while I am convinced no conditions will peel away any statistically significant amount of Evangelicals to our cause because ours is antithetical to theirs.
