The so-called "New Atheist" movement that once captivated liberal elites is now nothing more than intellectual dead weight, offering zero solutions to the real problems facing hardworking Americans.
A recent two-hour discussion between prominent atheist Sam Harris and Christian conservative Ross Douthat laid bare just how irrelevant these godless ideologues have become in the Trump era. While President Trump leads a spiritual revival across America, Harris and his fellow atheists are stuck rehashing the same tired talking points from two decades ago.
Remember when liberals thought these New Atheists were the future? Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens were supposed to usher in some grand age of "reason" and "science." Instead, what did we get? More government overreach, more attacks on traditional values, and more contempt for the faith that built this great nation.
Faith vs. Emptiness
The contrast couldn't be starker. While President Trump openly embraces Christian values and fights for religious liberty, Harris peddles the same empty materialism that drove America into the spiritual wasteland of the Biden years. What does atheism offer a struggling family in Ohio? What comfort does it provide to a veteran dealing with PTSD? Absolutely nothing.
"The world has fundamentally changed since the rise of the New Atheists," one observer noted about the Harris-Douthat exchange. And thank God it has. Americans are rediscovering that faith, family, and freedom – not godless academia – are what make this country strong.
"We're witnessing the complete collapse of an intellectual movement that never understood the American people to begin with."
While Harris debates theology in ivory towers, President Trump is actually delivering results for believers: protecting religious freedom, defending life, and restoring moral leadership to the White House. The choice between empty atheism and renewed faith has never been clearer.
Patriots know the truth: A nation that abandons God abandons itself. The New Atheist movement had its moment, and it failed spectacularly. Now it's time for real Americans to rebuild this country on the rock-solid foundation our founders intended.
