San Diego Atheist Group Looks To Spread Non-Belief

6. There some info about it in the article and there was recently

a book review posted here that is being sold essentially as a handbook for deconversion.

I do agree with you though about the underlying reason for the rise in absolute numbers, and I think that's a good thing. Normalizing atheism would be a benefit for many and decrease the prejudice and fear towards atheists in general.

One must acknowledge, however, that there is a sub-group that is clearly anti-religious and not just areligious. Some of the leaders within atheism have led this charge, which is often what needs to happen within a burgeoning movement.

But as atheism becomes a normalized position and acceptable to more and more people, that kind of activism will become less important and more marginalized. I think that's happening already to some extent and in some areas.
