Religion is coming back, in weird ways, in old ways.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Sounds like a T-shirt you should print and wear.

Now *that's* a good idea! Maybe a little drawing of Yog-Sothoth just above the lettering.
I don't know how many chickies I would land, but I know you won't be surprised to hear that quite a few of the old fogies I hoist Guinness with from time to time would approve.

It never left. Secular Humanism, Progressivism, Nazism, Communism, Neoconservatism and Neoliberalism, Transhumanism, Positivism, anarchism etc are just a few of the dominant and influential belief systems of the day that are religious ideas that have been dressed up in secular garments.jediuser598 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 3:42 pmDSL

That Will Durant buckets in a well analogy is pretty apt. One belief bucket like Christianity goes down, another belief bucket like Progressivism goes up. There's always going to be a human urge to channel your faith, and action toward something larger than yourself, so we will always have religion.

Religion doesn’t necessarily involve a deity, so any belief system is a religion.
Sounds like some relativism to me.
