West Virginia just passed a law that will allow the teaching of religious alternatives to science (meaning creationism) in public schools.

It is imperative that we protect science education from “intelligent design” and other alternative “theories”

Never thought I'd say this, but we need a new generation of reddit atheists. The old guard got bullied by fedora memes into becoming reactionaries, or keeping quiet.
Which way, le redditor?

I bet a lot of us, comrade.
No we really do not. We need a new generation of materialists. Atheism is as much of an ideology as off is a TV channel. Atheism is just simply a lack of belief in any religion, it is not an ideology in of itself. Atheism is extremely limited when applied outside of that. You can see the limits of "atheism as an ideology" in the Christofer Hitchens vs Micheal Parenti debate, and in the failure of the new atheist movement, with a ton of new atheists becoming reactionaries and even calling themselves cultural Christians.
A new generation of "Reddit atheists" will just have all the same problems as the previous one, and end up with the same result.
I have been scorned, mocked, derrided. But nontheless, i will rally to the call. Let us once again stand together. Let us once again attack and dethrone god.

Honestly, I was an atheist for a while before I went back to Catholicism and my biggest gripe with my attitude back then, and what I hear now is that very little has changed in refocusing the struggle of "religious" oppression (from primarily Atheist ideologues) to the systems of capital that allow for religion to be used as an expression of oppression. You destroy Capitalist White Supremacist Patriarchy and purge the right-wing ideologues and you'd have a defanged religious system.
Conservative/Fascist ideology use religion as one of its many cloaks, but as we've seen with the neofascists and pagan fascist that float all over the internet, Christianity is not their primary interest. Resurrecting violent white supremacist as a modus operandis in totality is what they are most interested in. They often use Christianity as a way to ignore materially important and sounder ideological arguments.
