Back when I first became old enough to start using the internet regularly (around 2008 or so, yes i'm a newfag I know) it was especially trendy to be a religion-hating, bible-bashing, loudmouthed edgelord, and let the whole world know. Everywhere you went, from Youtube comment sections to Reddit posts to Any Forums threads, it seemed everyone had a hate-boner for religion, especially Christianity. The Youtube scene was dominated by fedora tippers like The Amazing Atheist and Jaclyn Glenn, r/atheism was one of the most popular subreddits, fourms and comment sections were flooded with religious flame-wars, and mentioning that you were anything less than an antitheist who was intolerant of anything religious would have gotten you attacked by edgy trolls.
All this kinda went away around 2014 or so. Whether it was the dawn of the internet's political scene and the birth of the "SJW/Alt Right" trend (which has also died down) or the "tips fedora" meme, I can't say for certain. Either way, nobody cares about enlightened youtubers or pseudo intellectual douchebag redditors anymore, and I haven't seen a religious argument as opposed to a political one in ages. In some circles, like Nick Fuentes fanboys, it almost seems edgy and cool to be a radical creationist Christian, though it's most likely larp, but the tables seem to have turned.
I always attributed the edgy atheist phase of internet culture to 9/11/war on terror still being a recent memory (doesn't explain why Christianity was the primary target as opposed to Islam though) but it most likely had it's origins in the 80s/90s with the satanic panic/metal bands that were popular at the time. But I want to know what the tipoing point of the end was: when and why did atheism stop being cool on the internet?
When did atheism stop being cool on the internet?

Neckbeards ruined it

all the arguments in the world can't save you once everyone just associates you with a fat incel
Since /r/atheism collapsed onto itself thanks to aalewis.
Now Christcucks head the insufferable religiontard niche.

>When did atheism stop being cool on the internet?
when everyone figured out atheists were autistic assholes
Yea they got utterly blown the fuck out.
Now they know there is God.
They just hate him instead of denying or whatever they were up to previously.
>hate-boner for religion, especially Christianity
>doesn't explain why Christianity was the primary target as opposed to Islam though
Hmm, I wonder?
>If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
>If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
>Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
This cant be real
Lol @ people trying to be cool.
because the jews who poshed it are now busy with other matters

I remember that. You couldn’t ask a question on yahoo answers without one of those retards making it about their hateboner for religion. I assume most of those atheists commited suicide
RIP Steven. I miss those days.
Because if there is no law giver everything is an illusion and there is no right or wrong just what benefits you and what doesn't.
Only honest atheists will admit it that this is a perfectly logical conclusion even if it has monstrous implications.
Atheism itself broke down along woke lines, as committed atheists public intellectuals were critical of all religions but the handlers promoting them in the media just hate Christianity.
The other reason is that in the last 15 years it's become apparent that society without moral values decays to nothing. Someone post atheist_power_fantasy.jpg
That’s the second time I got 999 trips, and in less than an hour
atheism plus,cringe sjw faggots latched onto it and started making it a religion
desu atheism movement was just a attack dog of the jew,along with lgbt and feminist movements to weaken the west to open the door to wokeness,i was a useful idiot for atheism back then but not anymore DEUS VULT AVE MARIA
Actual atheism was never what most "atheists" actually believed. That is, the lack of belief in any religion. What most so called atheists were doing was bashing Christians and white Gentiles in particular. (Much like the diversity worshippers who claim to believe in evolution but have no idea that evolution and equality are mutually exclusive due to different environments creating different outcomes by natural selection. You will get in trouble in University Level Biology for telling this truth.) Anyway, as it became clear the Christians and whites had no real power, Faux Atheism that only cared to attack Christians and whites fell out of favor. The mission was over. The enemy had fallen like a paper tiger because that's all it ever was. Those same Faux Atheists are now on to Mask Mandatism and other politically correct causes like Blame Russia for everything.
leftists started to call out dawkings and the gang for not being leftists enough.
Revolution eating its children, once again.
because the real world is gay and it's easier if there's a sky daddy. i wish i could get deprogrammed.
When fatass started going in the frontlines
Anything that is primarily occupied by low SMV males becomes unattractive. It's why even being a doctor is no longer considered a high status job, because it is mostly done by poos. So for this same purpose, the internet is starting to become uncool and will definately be seen as lame and gay by the next generation.
Believe it or not, I see kids actually going outside after Gen Z. Reddit is entirely moderated by virgins, incels, trannies, femcels, catladies etc.
Normies aren't even capable of using regular websites without getting caught in their constant overmoderating. They get reported for "hatespeech" on faceberg, and AI puts them in a time out. They see the literal faces of the autistic losers making these arguments online.
Now let me tell you something to really blow your mind. My friends daughter, who I have been around since she was about 5 confided in my one day that I was a "cool kid." That the cool kids sit online all day and troll.
I was fucking shocked. So as a "cool kid" I can tell you the internet has never been this gay and pathetic. I don't believe for a second that women won't pick up on this over time. From your mom using Facebook to trannies moderating every website, at the end of the day, women are going to associate being on the internet with losers eventually. And then it'll go back to a place where autistic people talk about hobbies and a place you pay bills and shop for stuff.
it was never going to win because challenging their beliefs just makes you look like an asshole, even if its silly santa-tier magic fanfic that only purpose it serves is to make humans hate each other
Atheism was replaced by Hipsterdom which has now been replaced by Veganism it's all the same middle class white kids trying to feel super elitist and like some part of a super secret special club
They pushed for it and got they wanted. They saw the fruits of the tree. Suddenly they realized religion was a tool to shape the masses, the only question is the best way to do it. Now the secular, materialistic, nihilistic, hedonistic one took over and the thinking atheists realized their mistake
there are 2.3 billion jew worshipers on earth
they have just started using the internet more often relatively recently as the younger generation comes of age
youre a fucking retard and christcuckery is normie as shit
