The web page itself was meant as a resource for atheists and agnostics. It has a discussion board that was mostly about religion but it also had that politics area. When I look back on it I think its safe to say that many of the atheists were just leftists their to bash on Christians. Ironically, a lot of Christians came to the board to argue with atheists.

This is the problem with these leftists. There pattern is quite clear. They find any sort of fringe movement they invade that movement and outnumber the real people involved. This allows them to takeover the narrative. They then throw money and political weight behind that twisted narrative in order to accomplish their own political goals. They've done this a dozen times in the past fifty years. Atheism, racial relations, LGBT, Islam, etc have all fallen victim to these tactics.

Look at LGBT. You now have gay against groomer etc. They want nothing to do with pedos yet the MAP BS has been placed squarely in their lap and the lunatics are attempting to normalize it. A gay man in 1970 wanted nothing to do with any of this BS. The leftist hijacked their movement and made it what it is.

Atheism has had the same problem. They start a movement like Atheism Plus. They make a list of things they view as important. They recruit. Within 5-10 years the list of issues has totally changed so much it has nothing to do with how it started. All the original people(the real atheists) have, for the most part, left. It becomes an echo chamber and falls apart.

Why? Because it started out with 3,000 actual atheists wanting to improve themselves and then 50,000 lunatic leftist show up and take over. They push an agenda that is mostly political and when you peal back the layers... yep they're lunatic Socialist.

Take a step back and look at it from a 50k ft view you will see the pattern I'm talking about.
