Would it be much of a stretch to say the feds had a hand in some of this? It feels like a psyop tbh, priming us for eco fascism.

It’s increasingly baffling that PZ Meyers has managed to remain a radlib as everyone else became a chud or went commie.

The real issue with the new atheism movement is that Richard Dawkins is an arse he’s also like Jeremy Clarkson in that there’s no deeper layer to him the whole of his being is summed up in the phrase “he’s an arse”.

Tbh I’m actually kind of glad he isn’t on the left as the strong anti-religious sentiment of past leftist movements has been used to great effect by right wing propaganda. For example when Irish catholics were convinced to go and fight for Franco in spain after priests were murdered bear in mind that this was the same recruiting pool as the IRA

Yes, to many of us suppression of religion is a delicate issue, and the USSR may have taken things farther than they should have in the name of perfecting a counter-revolution.

For a lot of people this is a crime against humanity and makes the USSR and every other state with a (partly) successful communist revolution something that must be destroyed.

I always need to remember to tread lightly when I’m around religious friends of mine.

In Finnish, there’s a similar sounding term, “tapakristitty” lit. “customary Christian” but it’s just used to describe non-religious Finns who still observe Christian holidays and traditions ie. most Finns

When I first heard about cultural Christianity, I assumed it meant something similar

Yeah, that’s how I use the term. I celebrate Christmas, but just as a secular holiday.

Been a while since I heard the term cultural Christianity. I had no idea it was associated with such garbage. I’d always thought it was a useful term for how growing up in a Christian society shapes your views on what things like god and religion mean, even if you come to reject Christianity itself.
