I grew up in a place where everyone was secular. Now seems to be the time where people are not secular.
Activities without clear motives are more often than not a mechanism of oppression, someone somewhere is benefiting from it at your expense

As President of a local Atheist group, when we tried to join the efforts of an Interfaith group, we were told we were not good enough! We were not based on "faith", just love of humanity and a great desire to help it! And that I guess is not enough when the goal is to hype faith instead of just help the world.
Stop whining
@@1otterclan WOW! So easily triggered SAD!
And some of learn to deal with facts and reality. We learn personal responsibility instead of looking for a source of excuses to hide away from reality to. even if just temporarily. God made me do it is a comedy line! Sadly used for the worst in society for other reasons.
Thinking you can personally progress without the assistance of organized religion is equivalent to thinking you can personally progress without the modern education establishment.
queers for science!
Imagine your job being to slow down the progress of people being accepted for who they are because of hateful prejudicial bigots that have been the main base for ever.
I have been a steady fan, but the climate change stance is really disappointingly middle brow. Right now, what we actually need to do is check the alarmism. Decarbonization cannot happen nearly so quickly. It's not just tactics. It's the curve on the computer models that is way off. A bunch of preposterously unpragmatic arguments, decidedly.
Yes, it's the scientists who are wrong!

LMAO so low watt...
There are PLENTY of highly respectable scientists outside the bubble on this.
There is a major corruption of the university research funding pipeline, at least in the United States.
Check out Stephen Koonin, Judith Curry, for starters...
Plenty of highly credentialed dissenters.
Just like challenging "the science" for covid lmfao.
