Atheists like Alex O'Connor (who is probably the most intellectually articulate among atheists right now) have taken a softer stance, though, so I think hard-edged atheism's wave of post-911 religious phobia had crested.
I'm familiar with Alex O'Conner as I am with dozens of atheists, but I think his softer stance as you call it is more or less an Oxfordian comportment.
I agree that the 'New Atheism' of the Four Horsemen of Dawkins, Harris, Dennett and Hitchens has been somewhat replaced by the younger Millennial/Gen-Z podcasters, and you're probably right that the atheist's movement has crested somewhat, but I'm still looking at Pew Research and I'm not seeing things abating much, if at all, where resentment [and sheer disbelief] against Christianity has taken hold. .......even here on CF, the main reason we don't see the more vociferous atheists is because, as you know, they all got kicked off and shut down a year or two ago. Not because they chose to leave or became more 'moderate.'
