Say what now?
I know Dawkins is canceled by the far lefties, but I hope you're suggesting they're irrelevant now because religion is fading away so quickly.

I tried to say this with the last line that didn’t get quoted. What the Four Horseman said wasn’t/isn’t culturally irrelevant. But who they are as figures of New Atheism had a shelf life. Not only because of religion’s wane, but because their audience not only moved on but now dislikes them because they didn’t co-opt their teachings into the groupthink of views like anti-racism, DEI, and LGBT rights. They weren’t enemies of those movements, but because they were too strictly logical rather than sentimental when it came to those subjects they failed to become expected promoters for those causes. For example Dawkins criticized feminism and Sam Harris believed that “culture” shouldn’t be a mask covering what might be irredeemable values in certain cultures, such as human sacrifice. Both also dared to criticize Islam.
