I understand that sentiment, and in fact, I'm an atheist. I do wonder whether the destruction of Christianity has not led to wokeness filling up the vacuum.
There's going to be a state ideology. I'd rather have it be a sane, sensible, cultural Christianity than something far worse. We've learned that the hard way in Europe, where the alternative to Christianity became Islam.
The idea that atheism could fill the moral void of Christianity failed pretty quickly
Atheism is a statement of lacking. It is defined by not having something.
It was never meant to fill a moral void, and is utterly unable to make any morality calls at all. "No one decided things.", "The zero commandments.".
Anyone who thought the idea of NOT thinking of something, could ever have any controlling factor in life, is beyond stupid. I am a-unicornist, it does not impact my moralityview. I am a-leprochaunist, it does not impact my morality view. I am a-theist, it does not impact my morality view. Because you need something there to impact it. A void does not create change or structure.
If I believed in unicorns, I'd likely have some greater valuation to virgin women, since obviously magical beings so clearly favor them. If I believed in leprochauns, then rainbows would take on a very different meaning indeed. These things would impact my life, because they would exist, even if only to me.
For many atheists and "secular-[religion]"ists, they're, honestly, too dumb to hold their own worldview. Because they let something they "know" to not exist, dictate their worldview and life actions. Like a schizophrenic who knows their condition but listens to the voices anyways.
Based.
Christianity is the seed of wokism; the whole slave morality thing where the able are cursed and the weak venerated springs from there.
A Nietzsche fan?
But that was talking about the genuinely oppressed. Not making up phony oppressions for the heck of it.
