The New Atheism movement is just a natural progression, I was watching the Discovery Channel, and learnt two things;
1) I’m heterosexual and everything, but I think I’m attracted to Diesel Dave. After he comes home from a hard day fitting and turning I wouldn’t mind seeing if I couldn’t Ajax out some of the grease from his black t-shirts and brush out the grits from his beard.
2) I thought the channel would be doco after doco, but for what seemed like 3 hours, I watched a constant stream of red neck after red neck restore s**t and then sell it to other red necks, and in between all this quality viewing was what seemed like 2 hours and 30 minutes of absolute s**t ads. So I did some research and found that the Discovery channel, like it’s name suggests, started as a channel for science and docos, and over time has devolved into pseudoscience and reality television. This is because an audience thirsting for constant high level intellectualism is not large enough to justify a dedicated television channel.
Same goes for atheism, atheism in its purest form is not attractive enough to fill a Discovery Channel audience, but add in a bit of hatred, Twitter, SJWism and doctrine and people will be singing its praises from the choir. Not surprising seeing organised religion went the same way.
Further to this, this is just the Central Limit Theorem, Galton’s God, adding more and more people will make the distribution of the measured character tend towards normal, with the associated average.
