Essay: Richard Dawkins decapitated the atheist movement
From Conservapedia
The Encyclopedia of War declares: "The strategy of disrupting or defeating an enemy by eliminating its military and political leadership, “decapitating” the army or society, has long been practiced in conflicts and advocated by strategists as diverse as Sun Tzu and Machiavelli.
The principal benefit of decapitation is that much can be gained, immediately, from a limited operation. Removing leaders can bring victory in battle, decisively turn a campaign, or cause an entire country to fall. There are weaknesses inherent in this strategy, however; its success seems dependent on the specific context in which it is employed."[1]
Military snipers reduce the enemy's fighting ability by killing/injuring officers (and other high-value targets) and by demoralizing the enemy.[2]
Richard Dawkins was the most prominent of the "four horsemen" of the New Atheism movement.
Much to the dismay of many Western, militant atheists, once Richard Dawkins largely destroyed his public influence and sparked major dissension within the atheist movement, he effectively decapitated the atheist movement.
Within 5 years of Elevatorgate, the atheist movement was very demoralized (see: Morale of the atheist movement and Secular leftists and psychogenic illness
