Existential Comfort Without God
It seems in the atheist world, post dawkins&#x2F;harris&#x2F;hitchens, we have had a huge increase in atheism. I approve.<p>We seem to have lost something however(the opium). The now atheist folks seem to be constantly falling into or creating new religions. These atheists who gave up on christianity seem to be seeking for something. I think that religion has grasped onto something and dominated it. If you leave the church you end up losing that thing. What is that thing?<p>Wokeism is a new religion deriving from Marxism. Even more interestingly, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Opium_of_the_people" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Opium_of_the_people</a><p>&quot;Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.&quot;[5]<p>Wokeism is often confused with being aware of unfairness of how others are treated. It&#x27;s not that, it&#x27;s about destroying the religious class but in doing so they themselves break that opium. Marx wanted to break the opium to reveal the corruption of classes, capitalism and exploitation.<p>However, it&#x27;s clear right now that Marx didn&#x27;t understand what that opium actually was however. The removal of that opium seems to have destabilized the woke and empowered those they want to overthrow. Mind you, socialism died in 1989. The entire movement is dead right now, they are just giving it their last horrah.
