There is a growing minority post-New Atheism,
of a cynicism or a bad faith skepticism,
within select secular communities.
This has to be reasoned out,
and re-vectored.
We have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
If you condemn those who share 95% of your views,
fair enough, however:
What about those who not only disagree with 85%,
but also want you to be extinguished from any motion towards equality,
or even the public space?
Know your allies,
pick your fights.
