Here’s part 2 of the previous Panel episode I posted on here, discussing ‘merge-gate’ and the unexpected defensive response to a Salon article claiming that New Atheists merged with the far right, from some in the ‘progressive’ corners of the atheist scene.

My lovely panel includes Chrisiousity, Vadim Newquist of the Creationist Cat YT channel, Daniel Harper of the I Don’t Speak German Podcast, & also Youtuber Godless Cranium. —-If you enjoy the show pls consider supporting via Patreon.com/NiceMangos —-Links:
