Below are instances of the atheist movement being likened to a sinking ship (See: Decline of the atheist movement).
The atheist PZ Myers published a blog post at the Pharyngula blog entitled David Silverman fired from American Atheists.[3] (See the information below on "Post sexual harassment allegations against Lawrence Krauss and David Silverman, searches for atheism related topics have dropped markedly")
An atheist/agnostic commenting on the blog post wrote: "The atheist movement is a negative movement and a sinking ship. The humanist movement is a positive movement. Jump on board."[4] Secular humanism is a type of atheism/agnosticism.
Numerous atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead" or that it is dying.[5] See: Decline of the atheist movement and Morale of the atheist movement
