Panel 24 - Defending New Atheism: Maybe Just Don’t (Pt 1)

Polite Conversations

Hello lovely listeners, Since we’re experiencing a revival of defending new atheism from the left recently….I thought it was important to do this episode. I‘ve got a wonderful *godless* panel here to discuss their personal experiences in and observations of the scene, and also to discuss the ongoing apologetics surrounding ‘merge-gate’. I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation, and that it provides more context for those who haven’t followed the atheist scene too closely in recent years.
