Rise of the non-religious: Due to science-based reasoning or just disgust of pederastic priests?

I think of them as the 'Social Justice Warriors. I also think most of them have their heads up their asses. But that’s my opinion.

@Cognostic

You mean my opinion? You mean the assholes? That’s my opinion of the people stopping free speech, demanding I use specific pronouns, and insisting on things I disagree with. (Abortion is healthcare for example. Which we have already done … let’s not go there.)

I see no evidence that most people who are woke favour those ideas, how large a group is this, and how large is your sampled test group? If the majority of woke people hold such views then fine, but I have to remain dubious about such a sweeping generalisations if it’s a bare opinion.

@Cognostic

Simple fact of the matter is, the “Liberal Woke” are as fucked up as the “Religious Right.” IMO I tend to see a lot of them in the ‘Humanistic Venues.’ Calling themselves ‘humanists.’ (I am merely stating my observations. )

So we have a test group of what a few dozen at most? Do you see a problem here yet? This might involve tens of millions or more globally, so you having met a few people, or seen a few individual videos online, is not a sound basis to claim most of them hold those views, or that they have their heads up their arse, since those views you’ve assigned most of them are not demonstrated to be correct, nor are you offering any context? For one example we already limit the idea of free speech, think defamation laws as one example, or try phoning in false reports of a bomb and see what happens. One assumes you think it is a good idea to limit free speech in at least those two instances, does this mean you have your head up your arse?

@Cognostic

Perhaps we can agree that our definitions of ‘Woke’ are just different,

I don’t have one, I just Googled it and went to Wikipedia. Of course it’s just a descriptor, as is liberal, I have been labelled a bleeding heart liberal and a fascist in the same thread online before now, I tend to disregard such ad hominem, especially if the person has failed to address the points I’ve made.

I’m not saying such viewpoints don’t exist or are not expressed by people ostensibly being described either by themselves or others as woke or liberal, I’m just dubious of your claim that most people that fall under those descriptions have their heads up their arse.
