Panel 24 - Defending New Atheism: Maybe Just Don’t (Pt 2)

Polite Conversations

Here’s part 2 of the previous Panel episode I posted on here, discussing ‘merge-gate’ and the unexpected defensive response to a Salon article claiming that New Atheists merged with the far right, from some in the ‘progressive’ corners of the atheist scene. My lovely panel includes Chrisiousity, Vadim Newquist of the Creationist Cat YT channel, Daniel Harper of the I Don’t Speak German Podcast, & also Youtuber Godless Cranium. —- If you enjoy the show pls consider supporting via Patreon.com/NiceMangos —- Links: Salon article: https://www.salon.com/2021/06/05/how-the-new-atheists-merged-with-the-far-right-a-story-of-intellectual-grift-and-abject-surrender/ Chris Stedman’s Vice Article on Atheists veering towards the alt right Too Many Atheists Are Veering Dangerously Toward the Alt-Right My panel episode from 2018 with Chris Stedman & James Croft: https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/pc-panel-14-are-too-many-atheists-veering-dangerously-towards-the-alt-right Emoji references are in relation to this thread I linked in the previous panels shownotes: https://twitter.com/nicemangos/status/1406659660996825091?s=21 —— Find the panel here: @chrisiousity (twitter) https://youtube.com/c/chrisiousity @HeyitsVadim (Twitter) https://youtube.com/user/creationistcat @GodlessCranium (Twitter) https://youtube.com/c/GodlessCranium @DanielEHarper (Twitter) @IdsgPod (Twitter) https://idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/
