"I sure do wonder what will fill the niche left as increasing numbers of young people stop attending church", wondered the figurehead of the large, online personality cult.
Can these idiots just become Nietzsche-pulled already and drop Christianity because it’s slave morality is much too woke and beta and Jewish, I’d much prefer that.
None of the current batch of oligarchs is going to dispose of slave/master dualism. It's a nice thought, but they're just going to do what the masters always do and re-align the slave morality with their own interests. Which means doubling down on religiosity, as Elon is currently doing.
The very divorced sex predator that has shown off the same Baphomet cosplay for two years on the social network site that he bought so he could say slurs without getting banned again has now decided he is also a champion of Christianity.
This obsession with other people breeding he has is legitmiately disgusting
And hes got like 10 kids but still tries to fill his emptiness looking for others approval on a Nazi site. Wind ya neck in mate
looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he's an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish
Elon Musk announced that he's a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk's reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.
I'd like to know what these fascists call "secular religion"? Do they mean some nebulous thing like "woke"? Or various leftist ideology (chuds tend to mean this)?
4ch!n greentext seems to imply that "secular religion" means having political or philosophal ideology that cares about other people and wants to improve society somewhat.
Fever dream power fantasies of robot gods of the future? That's just science and applied Bayesianism
It is implying that people don't actually become atheist, but rather that humans fundamentally need religion and that the need cannot be otherwise fulfilled.
It's a common argument from applied "scientists" in culturally religious nations.
In this perspective, "wokeness" is a pathology that arises from being lost and misdirected due to a lack of religiosity, as religiosity is considered by them as a primal human need.
Often, this is a self-directed criticism by the culturally religious: They see a gaping wound where religion in society and history has taken from them, but they see this wound as a void which must be filled with more of the same. And they are unhappy that they have been unable to fill it. They don't understand that it doesn't need filled, but healed. They assume that this void exists in all people and that atheists and agnostics are deficient human beings as a result.
They don't understand that it doesn't need filled, but healed.
Beautifully put.
I think when reactionary gate style Reddit New Atheists wander back into religion, be it tradcath shit or the like, it's from an unhealed sort of "cultural Christianity" that they never fully examined and just assumed should be there with or without the deity.
It’s one of those things left intentionally vague so that the audiences can fill in the blank. It echoes MAGA not saying when America was last great or what made it great then. So one person fills in brand identity, another fills in wokeness, another fills in celebrity worship, another fills in big government, etc. The point isn’t coherency, it’s about getting people with wildly different views to think the solution is to turn the clock back.
