It’s true, and I make no effort to hide the fact. Through the first half of the 2010s, I was involved, at least peripherally, in the New Atheism movement. Of course, I moved on, and in retrospect I see that movement largely as a “Critical Religion Theory” movement that did more harm than good. Nonetheless, I was actively “New Atheist” for several insufferable years, years in which I cut my teeth in politics and the culture wars. Why, though? In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I address the question, not just to tell the story itself but to shed light on the current attacks coming at (especially Evangelical Protestant) Christianity, which take the form of discrediting it from within by highlighting, amplifying, and projecting silly things. I hope you’ll join me for what I think is an important short discussion.

    So what is real, what is true, how do any of us really know? No we really don’t and will we ever truly know.? I know I don’t believe any story as truth now…even the Bible that states it’s an allegory right in it. I want to fight and have been trying but even this feels useless…we need enough of us to make a difference and a change and how do we do that in this day in age?
