Eh... I think you're forgetting of Atheism+ and how it caused a giant division within atheist communities.

I would argue that the genesis of modern wokeism was idpol and intersectionality, not atheism/neoatheism.

Even before Atheism+ a huge number of atheists were already getting alienated with the sudden shift of focus that was already in progress on major atheist circles, many which abandoned religion as a subject to push woke identitarian bs.

The funniest thing of all is that this exact process also happened with feminism and gay rights movements: once major victories were achieved, they all shifted focus to the next trendy social justice cause, which was transgenderism.

There was enormous split among the atheist "community" over idpol and if I remember correctly Islam. It pretty much killed the community, by splitting it in half.

Never thought about it, but it did happen. Like a mistletoe parasiting off of other major social movements.

They only care about who will make a loyal voterbase.

Why? It's all for show. They can just rig it. More importantly, they need the majority to believe they have a say and that voting matters. The sheeple can be lead anywhere.
