-Also, the article ''Sam Harris, Project Reason failed'' adds:
+The [[Shadow To Light blog]] wrote in 2016:
-{{cquote|...it is extremely hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. No doubt the "best" secular material on the internet is extremely poor in quality. In addition, material which promotes atheism is very much like evolutionary pseudoscience material in that it is extremely dull, stale and boring. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an atheism revival!
+{{Cquote|It looks to me like Project Reason is dead.  Which is weird given that there is no announcement or explanation.  If Project Reason is indeed gone, then Harris is quietly trying to slip it down the memory hole.  But why?
-See: [http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/05/is-public-tiring-of-hearing.html How stale and boring is evolutionary indoctrination? Is the public fooled or are they suspicious? What is the trend?]
+So I looked around on the internet and the only information I could find was in a very brief thread on the forum on Sam Harris’s remaining webpage:
-'''Questions for Sam Harris and his anemic fan base'''
+::The Administrator:”Project Reason has been retired as a website. It’s forum has been transplanted here.”
-Sam, what happened? By the way, what are your thoughts about [http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/05/globally-worldviews-of-atheism-and-non.html global atheism shrinking]? I do hope you know that this is expected to affect [[Western World]] atheism.
+::Someone asked, “Does that mean Project Reason itself has dissolved and is not taking on projects?”
-The Birbeck, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann declared to a secular audience in a lecture titled [http://fora.tv/2010/09/05/Eric_Kaufmann_Shall_the_Religious_Inherit_the_Earth Shall the religious inherit the earth]: "The trends that are happening worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."<ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/06/sam-harris-project-reason-failed.html Sam Harris, Project Reason failed!]</ref>}}
+::Administrator replied: “Correct.”
