How is this relevant? I have never seen Mr. Shermer, so I have no idea whether he is an "alpha" or not, but regardless...

  • being an atheist does not imply a desire for a swinging sexual life
  • a swinging sexual life does not imply consent to sex with a specific person

So speculations about whether atheism can lead to sexual utopia in general are irrelevant for whether a specific person have raped another specific person.

Sexual freedom does not mean people must have sex with everyone. It means that if two (or more) people agree on having sex together, they can have it.
