Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

    People have passions about other things than Jeebus. They are often irrational and they tend to become attached to their pre-existing notions. These basic facts about humanity doesn’t make their other passions a proxy for religion.

    Typical cultist thinking. People’s politics and thought processes are a religion like bald is a hair color.

        Religion and politics are oft intertwined that doesn’t make them the same thing. In fact you might note that insofar as MAGA membership in a christian cult is highly correlated with being in a political cult.

        Some of us aren’t in any cult. Maybe that can be you one day.

            I had figured you to be one of the hurr durr atheism is a type of religion hurr durr types which are almost always Christians or the flavor of agnostic that holds so many Christian beliefs that you might as well call them Christian in everything but name. Did I guess wrong?

              sounds like you think there is such a thing as a ‘true’ atheist? and you are one and everyone else isn’t?

              sounds pretty cultist to me…

                You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. An atheist is merely someone who has no religion like bald is someone who has no hair. Language often works by analogy. We describe groups like cults even whilst they aren’t in any way shape or form a religion nor a replacement for one.
