We have to remember that “New Atheism” was/is largely a response to militant Islam and also demographic shift in western nations.

    The whole New Atheist movement and cries of cultural xtianity came about because of fears about Islam. They were appealing to a particular audience.

    Ah that, I guess that explains shit like Harris literally demanding a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Islam in his book The End of Faith
    
    Whole thing was still cringe and I’m glad it seems to have lost in the end.
