"Design is my passion!"

It’s true—New Atheism is basically dead. Like, completely.

But what’s wild is how fast it died.

In the 2000s, Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, and Dennett (remember the “Four Horsemen” branding?) were everywhere. Bestsellers. TED talks. Reddit darlings. Apparent bold truth-tellers cutting through the fog of religion with reason and science.

But critics were already raising the alarm: this wasn’t rational inquiry.

It was just another kind of fundamentalism. Atheism as dogma. Certainty dressed up in lab coats.

Dawkins & Company bristled at that. “We’re just being rational!” they insisted. “Nothing like the religious!”

But then they started sounding more and more like the very zealots they claimed to oppose.

Take Sam Harris going off about racial IQ and defending profiling at airports.

Or Richard Dawkins tweeting about how bringing a Down syndrome fetus to term is “immoral.”

Or how both of them went full culture-war reactionary the moment the conversation turned to gender.

It turns out if you replace God with biology, but keep the smug certainty and total lack of self-awareness… you’re not curing fundamentalism.

You’re just rebranding it.

And now? Every atheist I know has totally disavowed the New Atheists. They’ve become a cautionary tale. A Reddit-era relic.

They’re proof that being “right” isn’t enough. If you’ve got no humility, no curiosity, and no grace, you’re just another preacher screaming at the void.

Good riddance to the movement that thought it would save the world by yelling “logic” louder.

This week has really driven home that the word “tariffs” ends with FFS.

Tariffs raise prices for consumers, reduce competition, invite retaliation, distort market incentives, and disproportionately harm lower-income households—all while protecting inefficient industries from innovation at the expense of broader economic growth and higher living standards.
