What’s Killing The Atheist Movement?

Remember when our friends could be wrong? I do. Lots of my friends were idiots growing up. Hell, I was that idiot a few times.

But we stuck by each other, we worked through our issues, and we grew together.

Sometimes, years later, we’d look back at things we did and apologize for being assholes. How is that possible? Because we were still there to say I’m sorry.

But why did we stick it out? Because we were all we had. That idiot was our idiot.

2. "... social media is removing the humanity from our interactions ..."

There is a lot of truth to that statement. It's at least a culture-wide problem. I don't see it as linked to any particular movement.
