Is American atheism heading for a schism?

22. Like it or not, they certainly are garnering a lot of attention.

This appears to be driven primarily by women who are revolting against the perceived sexism within the currently established groups. I think it may be an important and necessary step towards creating an effective movement.

It does not surprise me that those already established are going to vociferously reject this new group's position. That is happening even on this site.

I think some movements have to step back at times and see that there are some factions that hurt it more than they help it. It seems quite evident that that is true within the developing atheist movement. The anti-theists and latent misogynists do nothing to promote the causes the overall movement strives for. They need to be excluded. They can have their own little club and slap each other on the back when one of them is more hateful than the next.

Overall, what I have read from Atheist+, I like a lot. Sometimes you need a schism to rid yourself of the garbage.
