Sorta. It's kinda like how Athiests will sometimes shit on Christianity while softballing some random pagan tribe from the asscrack of nowhere that believes women who expose their ankles must be thrown in the volcano to placate the Gods.
It's personal prejudice against one religious group based on bad experiences masquerading as disdain for religion in general, rather than admitting you had a bad experience with overzealous pastors, etc.
In a lot of cases, I think it's the same with feminism. Women who had legitimately awful experiences blaming western culture rather than individual bad actors within their own community in what amounts to a sampling bias circlejerk...
Some atheists: "I'm going to devote time to stopping stupid Christians who believe in supernatural, spiritual bullshit from having any cultural influence!"
Also some atheists: "I've got nothing against Buddhists; they should just be left alone. Meditation can actually have health benefits."
The definition of meditation in the Bible is generally to “mutter or speak quietly”. In Psalm 1, it is written, that the ideal Bible reader is one who meditates on the Scripture day and night.
People who live in countries where Buddhism is the state religion have just as much problem with it as people who live under Islam. The problem is not the religious tenets; it's zealots taking over your state.
To many, it's just the degree it affects their lives. Buddhists tend to keep to themselves. Christians tried to censor media (like the Comics Code), and Catholic priests kept being moved around when they preyed on kids. The same shit wokeism is guilty of now, except that wokeists are more extreme and more accepting of pedophilia.
the bigger problem is the poison that infected both groups, namely Marxism. Somehow the 19th century trustfund-baby's screed about how all rich people (except for him and those who follow his teachings, of course) are bad manages to fuck up everything it touches, unless it's rooted out with a woodchipper.
I can see how collectivism can overlap between feminism and marxism, both have at least elements of group identity to them, and a certain element of grievance mongering exists within both.
With atheism though? I guess some people latch onto it for the sake of grievance with orthodox religion, which would naturally incline them towards that sort of marxist thought patterns, but there's a lot of atheists who just don't believe in the spiritual due to a lack of personal experience with it...
Sidenote: this lead me to an interesting train of thought (next time i'll take the bus, lol), groups like Antifa operate somewhere between a street gang and a religious meeting... If we treat their actions as religious rites, at least in a metaphorical/psychological sense, some interesting parallels emerge....

A common quote from those types is "I read the bible, that's why I'm an atheist." Doesn't make any sense but ok atheist man.
Think of it like the man who's only dated cunts, or the woman who's only dated assholes, except it's religious figures/people instead of girl/boyfriends who are scumbags. Pattern recognition can be a bitch when you have a bad sample set to work from, lol

Ironically, meditation is literally mentioned in the bible more than once.
not even a christian and I know this.
Just to follow up.
TIL, lol =)
It is all driven by female hatred for western civilisation, by emotion not rationale.

like I said, bad experiences.
