Humanists are the worst woke evangelists.

The atheist and "feethought" movement has sold out to the wokeists. Atheism has nothing to do with so called social justice, globalism or communism. Conservatives are going to have to lighten up on Christain Nationalism, God, Guns and anti-abortion to combat the scourge of fascist authoritarianism that is engulfing the world right now. Why criticise any one against wokism? The atheist movement needs an alternative to the poisonous rhetoric that is spreading like red weed across the world.

And? Social justice is cancer. Being anti-woke is just employing critical faculties.

A leftist is NOT an atheist. Just a crypto-theist.

The presence of Atheists in conservative circles is a welcome sight. Perhaps you are assuming too much in their statement of finding common ground with conservatives “against the new woke intersectional left”. Dissent from certain “antiracist” dogma is not an indication that they agree with racists views held by some CPAC attendees. Boghossian and Shermer also sit on the advisory board of the newly launched Fair For All, https://www.fairforall.org, an organization that has a different approach to addressing intolerance and racism than the kind of divisive anti-racism promoted by people like Ibram Kendi. As you noted, Atheists for Liberty's intentions were also to promote atheism and secularism among conference attendees. Painting them in the light of either “woke” or “anti-woke”, hence either anti-racist or racist, is a false choice.
