Atheism and Evolutionism are Collapsing
While the belief that there is no God has been around for centuries, obstreperous misotheism had its heyday in the early 2000s. Ridicule of Christians, biblical creationists, and the Intelligent Design was rampant. Some people like that are still around on social(ist) media.
Ironically, atheists claim to believe in science and reason, but precious little logic can be observed. The face of this version of atheism has been C. Richard Dawkins. He and others have been making money from hatred and bigotry, playing to like-minded folks. Some are dying off and replacements are not sought.

The accommodationist modus vivendi was, however, to be rudely reneged upon in 1976 with the publication of The Selfish Gene by Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins.
