Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

    not understanding the material conditions that were the basis for whatever dogma they complain about.

    Yeah if I could sum up the problem with new/Reddit atheists it’s that they put on airs of having the materialist high ground but then end up engaged in the same idealism that the religious use. They both act like religion is a thing that gets injected into culture rather than arising from within culture. The religious think it’s God delivering it from on high whereas the Reddit atheists see it as being imposed by some shadowy cabal.
