Maybe. I do agree that enlightenment liberals abandoned Christianity so they could be even more Christian and the "new-atheist" movement is basically that. However I do think any appeals to the anti-rationalist tendencies of the masses and the power of idealism (which is quite powerful and tempting) can only protect capitalism and not eliminate it. I do agree that most atheists have a fetishized view of "science" , often have a religious devotion to freedom and other ideals that replace God, and have a very poor understanding of religion beyond what the bible says which is the least important aspect of religion. I dunno though the OWS is almost a fascist movement (populist, nationalistic and anti-rationalist) and it's been interesting to watch. Anarchism and fascism have always been very close in my mind and that seems to be what works in the 1st world.
franklin and frankenstein read the bible through bifocals? what revisionism!

these are not rationalist articles of belief

well at least our arbitrary subjectivism does not rely on a narrow interpetation of certain etchnocentric cultural traditions. if atheism is a religion it truly is a universal one allowing for an immense variety in practice while encouraging personal judgement and appealing to each individual's sense of morality.
an extremely stupid post. pretty much 100% dumb as fuck. you don't have any idea what you're talking about apparently

After reading this thread and the nationalism thread I realize rhizzone is the only fascist forum in the entire world. Anti-capitalist, anti-rationalist, more Hegelian than Marxist, we're bringing back Gentile, Schmitt, Sorel, Evola who have been lost in the liberal slander of fascism and communism as the same thing. I respect fascism as a serious ideology that must be fought by genuine Marxists at a theoretical level instead of stupid shit like street gangs beating each other up or calling everyone a fascist. Much more interesting than debating liberalism which is mostly incoherent or "conservativism" which is doesn't even pretend to be coherent.
sorel, schmitt and evola were all anti-fascist

nope it's really simply.
if you value piety above all else you will start interjecting the decrees of your mythological thinking upon physical reality which might cause difficulties down the road.
interjecting mythological thinking on physical reality is all human beings have been doing since we first worked out how to daub pigment onto rocks to look like animals. Welcome To The Desert Of The Symbolicyes and what "we" call "progress" is moving past our subjectiveness and accepting common terms for human interaction based on the Universal Experience, i.e through Empiricism and Positivism.
No one is as hopeful and full of faith as the self professed Positivist.empiricism and positivism are immense failures lol
also theyre responsible for the holocaust just sayin
empiricism is the basis behind every advance in thinking or technology, ie most of the total ever, in the last three centuries.
