The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 165
The “New Atheism” movement, which lasted more or less from 2005 until 2015, was a cringey and curious thing, and it has become an object of much mythology, particularly on the highly online, largely Christian Right. Unfortunately, they don’t know much about it, leading them to turn it into propaganda for a cause that mirrors it more than many might find comfortable. In this casual episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through quite a lot of the history of the New Atheism movement as it really was and compares it against Critical Religion Theory, Marxism, and, ironically, the Woke Right. Join him for a surprising and refreshing discussion.

Hi James, glad to see you are finally connecting the dots. Christian Nationalism is not true Christianity. Christian Nationalism goes against the basic teachings of Jesus Christ. Christian Nationalism is all about power and control through fake religious authoritarian fascist government control, and corporate financial means. I’m a Christian woman and while I respectfully disagree with others politically or their lifestyle, I don’t hate my neighbors and I help the poor. That’s true Christianity and not to be confused with total socialism as so many in the far-right like to misconstrue. Extremists on any political or religious side is hazardously misleading the masses into dysfunctional chaos. Truth, democracy, and basic human rights which is the fundamental fabric of a functioning society is being suffocated by far-right extremists while masquerading as conservative Christians and falsely advocating small government theories for ultimate control. Mismanagement, corruption, extremism, power, and greed all contribute to the downfall of a working government for the people. Enjoy your content. Thank you, James and God bless you. ✝️❤️
