The whole New Atheist movement and cries of cultural xtianity came about due to the rise of militant Islam. They were appealing to a particular audience.

It was always “religion is bad but Islam is especially bad” from Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris.

Ah that, I guess that explains shit like Harris literally demanding a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Islam in his book The End of Faith

Whole thing was still cringe and I'm glad it seems to have lost in the end.
