    Let’s go back to where you believe decline in religion has led us to fascism when 70% of Christians voted for a fascist take over of our society and 90% of atheists voted against?

    Are you going to pivot to the no true Scotsman fallacy or go somewhere else with it?

      I don’t recall ever saying that a decline in religion lead to any of that. Literally all I said was that Reddit Atheism is more “edgy and tryhard” than it is helpful, if you somehow got “Abandoning religion did this.” from that, I don’t know what to say.

      I just don’t think it’s fair to say it’s uniquely a Christian problem that lead to fascism taking over America, especially when there are tons of “New Atheists” who are down with Jordan Peterson and other pseudo-intellectuals offering “Trans bad, upvotes to the Left” disguised as “Totally getting it bro”

      Are you saying “Edgelords LARPing Atheism into a Religion” implies that somehow? Because what I mean by that is the tendency for so-called “Reddit Atheists” to treat Atheism like a Dogmatic Religion…
