Progressivism is just the modern, trendy, secular religion. It has a creation myth, a highest holy, dogmas, traditions, heretics to persecute, and a god to venerate.
And it's doing what every ascendant religion has done when its membership has swelled to the point where it is no longer recognized as a cult; it infiltrates and destroys the old dominant religion, then tries to take its place.
If religion forms spontaneously even in its absence (as we see with atheists, of whom probably 80+% have adopted the "progressive" religion in some way), then that would suggest "religion" is just some innate trait of humanity. So then that statement just becomes "some innate traits of humanity are self-destructive"
Which I think the Christians would agree with you on, seeing as how man being a "fallen" creature is pretty integral to their worldview. They'd probably phrase it differently, like "man is a slave to sin" or something like that; but the meaning is the same.
What u/LordLavaLamp said is true from a certain point of view anyway. An effective religion replaces everything it touches. Whether one considers that "destruction" depends on if they have more affection for the old ways or the new. Like culture, some religions are more beneficial than others.
I'd actually say that "some religions are more destructive than others."
I'd much rather live as an atheist in a devout Christian country than pretty much any other religion. Generally the worst thing a Christian will do to you is say, "I'll pray for you." People of pretty much every other religion will try to destroy you in whatever way their religion allows.
Such as the "canceling" for blasphemy against the progressive doctrine problem we have now.
You atheists own the ussr/ccp and all communist shithole atrocities. Your the ones repsonsoble for the current degenracy like lgbt indoctrination for kids and open borders. America got deatroyed when Judeo-Christian values were replaced with atheism. Atheists are over 90% democrat

Fair enough, although that only counts for modern christianity. It's been pretty brutal in the past. Shintoism is pretty relaxed too.
Spot on. Identity politics in a nutshell.
