Infected Euphoric atheists

You know it's really amazing how much of the landscape has changed on the Internet over the years in all.

I remember when the atheist movement of the 2000's gained a lot of steam and it seemed unstoppable at the time. You had major figures like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens that help planted the seeds for this movement, you had Youtubers that would make a name for themselves and capitalized on being advocates for atheism which would earn hundreds of thousands of views with every upload, you had atheist conventions where people would show up by the thousands to show their opposition towards organized religion in general, and much more.

But like many movements in this day and age, they eventually turn sour and turn into hugboxes that's full of some of the biggest losers imaginable. What would eventually kill the atheist movement of the 2000's was when politics started to infect it, especially left-wing politics. Overtime the social justice community would infiltrate it and turn the movement into a laughable hugbox full of speds that get easily triggered over anything remotely related to religion in general.

Many of the more moderate atheists would eventually leave the atheist movement of the 2000's and all that is left of this movement are neckbeards and legbeards that are the punchline of a joke. Most of the major figures from the atheist movement of the 2000's don't care about it anymore and with all the stupid shit that went on in the atheist community over the years made it earn the stereotype of the atheist neckbeard or the atheist legbeard with bad fashion sense.

Simply put, speds pretty much killed the atheist movement of the 2000's and now all that is left of it is just a hugbox for people like me to laugh at.

Man who wants giant arenas for sportsball talks of being utilitarian.

Utilitarian just means seek all the pleasure you want to these people

The pleasure principle is at the core of at least the most basic concept of utilitarianism. Sportsball stadiums make perfect sense from that standpoint, at least to the extent they don't have negatives that outweigh their benefits, such as for instance displeasure from traffic jams, especially to people who don't use said sportsball stadiums.

It's ridiculous to claim from that standpoint, though, that perhaps the most famous and most celebrated cathedral on the planet doesn't serve such a purpose to an even greater extent.

The greatest number of preferences would obviously be satisfied by rebuilding it, including those that would be satisfied by employing large numbers of people, developing new architectural techniques, and everything that goes along with such an immense project.

Arguably, from that perspective, the cathedral burning down is actually a good thing.

This reveals the most likely culprit: a crazed utilitarian.

Think of it like D&D, where the gods are proportionally powerful how many people worship them. The Fedora Brigade tries to break the faith of every Christian/Muslim/etc, because if no one has faith in a god, it no longer has the power to interact with the world as a concept, so basically they are "Killing" an abstract concept by applying D&D logic to it.
