How New Atheism's Crusade Against Islam and The Left helped pave the way for the Alt-Right
9/11 broke many Western intellectual's brains. It shattered Francis Fukuyama's hypothesis about the End of History while seemingly vindicating the work of Samuel Huntington. It also deeply influenced New Atheist thinkers views, with many endorsing the new Neo-Conservative policy of the US in its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This left a deep scepticism of Islam in general, where sweeping generalisations of a whole religion were not only tolerated, but became the mainstream way of thinking of the West's new wars in the Islamic world.
It is of course not surprising that the New Atheist movement on social media transitioned into the anti-SJW movement, leading many atheists to ally themselves with the Right, and often Far-Right in dunking on Leftists and Feminists as well as Muslims.
