Atheism+

Atheism+ in a nutshell.

Atheism+ is a vanity project/marketing scheme/colossal circlejerk disguised as a social justice movement created by a horse-faced bitch named Jen McCreight and supported by the deranged dipshits over at Freethought Blogs.

History

It all began when Freethought Blogs wanted to become more accessible to the common people so they could drive more traffic to their website and steal more of Google's money. In July, three YouTube vloggers (Christina Rad, AronRa, and Thunderf00t) were hired to make the site more interesting. However, Thunderf00t proved to be incompatible with the radical feminist agenda at Freethought Blogs, so PZ Myers kicked him off. Thunderf00t wasn't about to take this treatment like a bitch, so he made a collection of videos calling out Freethought Blogs on their censorious bullshit. Large scores of people then became aware of Freethought Blogs and their idiotic activities.

In August 2012, PZ Myers realized that most people saw Freethought Blogs as a collection of whiny attention whores who all have a massive persecution complex and the site hasn't really contributed anything to the atheist movement. With this in mind, he had the freakish woman/horse hybrid Jen McCreight write up a post regarding a super special new social justice movement: Atheism+, a thinly-veiled attempt at giving Freethought Blogs an air of credibility. At its heart, it's nothing more than a re-branding of humanism, but Jen won't admit that. She then sent forth her drooling minions across the internet to spread the divine word of Atheism+.

Soon thereafter, all of the bloggers on Freethought Blogs were talking about Atheism+ and how great it was and how it would save the atheist movement from certain annihilation. Then Richard Carrier wrote up his post on Atheism+ and blew their friendly image out of the water. It consists of a lot of TL;DR bullshit, but it can best be summed up with this final paragraph:

	“	In the meantime, I call everyone now to pick sides (not in comments here, but publicly, via Facebook or other social media): are you with us, or with them; are you now a part of the Atheism+ movement, or are you going to stick with Atheism Less?	„

Remind you of anyone?

It took Jen McCreight an entire week to renounce Carrier's extremist views. During that time, countless atheists on Twitter tore the movement a new asshole calling it all sorts of things including "pointless", "unnecessary", and "divisive". The Atheism+ supporters fired back by accusing them of being racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, neurotypical rape-enablers who are bathing in a pool of their own privilege. Ironically, in their overzealous crusade to the rid the world of bigotry the members of FreeThoughtBlogs became the biggest bigots of them all.

On September 4, Jen McCreight stepped outside of her hugbox and realized, "Oh no! People don't like Atheism+!" She then wrote up a blog post saying that she was leaving the internet simply because people were making fun of her and her abortion of a social justice movement. Shortly thereafter, her father wrote up a post saying how he would punch the face of any person who dared make fun of her daughter. Not knowing the cardinal rule of "Don't feed the trolls", people started making fun of him as well. This prompted Jen McCreight to break her promise of staying off the internet by writing up a post telling people to stop trolling her father.

Jen McCreight is still on the internet, mainly moderating the Atheism+ forums, sitting in the warmth and security of her hugbox.
