The intellectual bankruptcy of the so-called "New Atheist" movement was on full display during a recent two-hour discussion between Sam Harris and Ross Douthat, revealing just how far these once-celebrated figures have fallen from relevance.
Remember when Harris and his fellow New Atheists like Richard Dawkins were supposedly the brilliant voices of reason? Those days are long gone, Patriots. What we're left with is a hollow movement that offers Americans nothing but nihilistic despair wrapped in pseudo-intellectual babble.
The discussion exposed what many conservatives have known all along: when you strip away faith, tradition, and moral foundations, you're left with nothing but empty platitudes and cultural decay. Harris, who once claimed to champion "reason" over religion, now finds himself scrambling to explain why his worldview has produced a generation of confused, depressed, and morally adrift young Americans.
The Failure of Godless "Intellectuals"
While President Trump and his administration are working to restore American values and rebuild our great nation, figures like Harris continue peddling the same tired atheistic materialism that helped create our cultural crisis in the first place.
Is it any wonder that areas dominated by secular progressive thinking are also the places with the highest crime rates, drug addiction, and family breakdown? The New Atheist movement promised enlightenment but delivered only darkness.
"When a society abandons its spiritual foundation, it loses its moral compass," one cultural observer noted about the Harris-Douthat exchange.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: while Trump rallies Americans around shared values, faith, and patriotism, the New Atheists offer only criticism and cynicism with no constructive alternatives.
Americans are waking up to the reality that we need more than just intellectual posturing—we need leaders who understand that faith, family, and freedom are the pillars that make America great. The New Atheist movement had its moment, and that moment has passed.
Isn't it time we stopped pretending that godless intellectuals have anything meaningful to contribute to the American conversation?
