They even say that the girl had to die for the sins of the group. Throughout the episode whenever they were accussing one of the group they were sure to show them wearing their crosses.
Sorry for the rant but it's just so noticeable I can't believe I never registered it before
The first breach in my Atheism was fully realizing how much they hate Christians, Christianity, and Jesus. If you think something is dumb and illogical, why spend every single second exclusively talking about it? Because "it's the dominant culture?" Yeah, maybe 70 years ago before every institution became converged.
The 2010 surge in atheism was in response to an attempt by evangelicals to take over the education system and make factually untrue claims - namely young earth creationism. This pushback was necessary and largely successful, most of the prominent evangelical wackos became laughing stocks or were exposed as hypocrites or even criminals.
However, they couldn't leave good well enough alone and Dawkins et al set about dismantling and dismissing all community and spiritual benefits of religion. It quickly became apparent that this left them vulnerable to infection - Atheism+ infiltrated and destroyed the entire community because they had no strong beliefs or unified principles that could be used to expel them.
As they say, tradition is the solution to a problem we have forgotten.
Yeah, I remember back when the church and evangelicals were in control of the education system and it wasn't 100% run by democrats nationwide.
Oh wait, no I don't, because that never happened in my lifetime.
Also, for how "evolution" is presented in most modern media, it might as well be creationism. Things like X-Men are fun but if they actually existed, it would be a disproof of evolution. And the common understanding of evolution is so bad that most people think X-Men scenarios are actually how it works.
I actually can't think of a single movie/show/story that uses evolution as a hook that is even close to accurate.
