One thing I wish Atlas had was more traditional Republicans who are articulate and well informed. There seemed to be a lot more of them in the past.
Reflective of growing despair and loss of hope for the temporal world, no doubt.
James White's (my favorite theologian) refusal to celebrate 4th of July this year is probably a microcosm of that, yeah.
For me, Atlas doesn't hurt my academic performance whatsoever but it probably stunts me socially. That being said, Calvinist websites and videos have had far more of an influence on me as of late.
Speaking of Calvinism, one thing this forum has done for me has been to lean me more towards a belief in total depravity.
