The term "Islamophobic" is definitionally contested, and therefore not an objective descriptor. This should be reworded for objectivity.

Alt-Right is atheist?

I sincerely question the notion of the alt-right being largely atheist. In my experience, that is absolutely not the case at all. Besides a few high-profile personalities like Spencer being atheists (the alt-right accepts him despite his atheism because they love to make a bad-faith pretense of "listening to all sides", see also: Milo Yiannopoulos, who is gay). I realize that I'm only going off of my experience here, which I acknowledge isn't enough to modify the article, but at the same time, a single Guardian article and a citation from a book that isn't accessible online are not enough evidence to throw an already marginalized group (in most of the US, at least) into the same box as a group that specifically targets marginalized people (including atheists!). 216.122.155.62 (talk) 05:04, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, this is silly. The alt-right is overwhelmingly and quite vocally NOT atheist... Jersey John (talk) 11:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Put antisemitic as one of the characteristics of the alt right movement in the top of the page. 2601:80:C500:4850:4022:1557:21FD:E69D (talk) 00:09, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Do you have a reference to a high quality reliable source that verifies what you want to add? The article, after all, says Some alt-rightists are antisemitic, promoting a conspiracy theory that there is a Jewish plot to bring about white genocide, although other alt-rightists view most Jews as members of the white race.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Lightoil (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
