I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    I’m not sure what pleasure you get from telling e.g. women that magic isn’t real, that astrology is bs, and that crystals are only pretty and don’t have special powers. If I were such an unfulfilled person, I’d resolve to get another hobby. Possibly environmentalism or something.

    And I’m talking about people that are specifically chauvistic for a hobby and anti-intellectual. I’m not talking about the average normal person that dislikes Catholics or some other misogynistic elements of religion.

        The UK for e.g. has less religion than ever, and it’s been turned into a shithole in many respects - Victorian diseases are back, a third of children lack food and they’ve had a decade of lost economic growth.

        If you think your brand of atheism goes hand in hand with progress, you are equally as foolish as those people that thought liberal capitalism ensured democratic progress.
