I checked the five last posts. There is nothing here but hating on religion. Sad that jerking off to ones own superiority is all that Atheism has to offer.

What the fuck are you even talking about???

Far right groups are practically all conservative religious groups. Religion is where lies the foundation of their values. These alt right are even gaining support from Muslim communities in issues like drag queens reading stories to kids or trans issues.

I wouldn't bother, their link is to a religious blog.

They are desperate to blame anyone but themselves.

It does seem logical to think like this at first and I would agree with you, but it did happen. For example, you have this number of YT channels that would often talk about atheism starting talking about how feminist women were, complaining about LGBT people and such. Maybe because they got too familiar with libertarian ideals and ended up going conservative.

I am just pointing out that this is something that exists and it is something talked about. I am an atheist and leftist but I think it is a mistake to automatically label atheism as something strictly progressive as if your way of engaging with atheism is through hate and without empathy one can easily go through a dangerous path.
