There seems to be an innate need for religion.
For whom? Because I sure as shit don't have any need to believe in fairy tales.

Still, a lot of the cases they fight for seem to be all over the political spectrum.
I mean, it's been proven that humans have a psychological need for religion, but....
Wokeness? A religion?
Eh at worst you have companies overcompensating to avoid seeming racist or sexist... and you have tankies taking it too far and claiming everything is imperialist bullshit, but that's hardly a new phenomenon... Hippies of yesteryear did similar.
But again, worst case scenarios.
There's nothing wrong with saying "Maybe you shouldn't speak here, or, anywhere really?" if a guy is literally going to Colleges to give seminars on how "Hitler did nothing wrong, and maybe transpeople, and not the constantly crashing economy and the blatant failure of trickle down... are to blame for all of your problems."
I remember when being "Woke" had positive connotations, but the Right Wing ruins everything.

Dogmatic worldviews don't need to be theistic
The fact that atheism is another belief system is true (none of us is out there proving shit because it can't be proved, both ways), but calling it wokeness and a religion makes you look like the dumbass you are, Elon.

"Atheism" has been appropriated by people with a grudge against religion who wants to destroy it at all costs, and convert all practitionerd of religion to atheism. So, armchair crusaders.
