And what are “multiculturalism” and “diversity” but religious tests for office?Progressivism is a nontheistic Christian sect. Progressives are ultraCalvinists who believe in:
1. The universal brotherhood of man – i.e. equality
2. The futility of violence – i.e. peace
3. The fair distribution of goods – i.e. social justice
4. The managed society – i.e. community run by benevolent experts
Moldbug writes,
If you have a rule that says the state cannot be taken over by a church, a constant danger in any democracy for obvious reasons, the obvious mutation to circumvent this defense is for the church to find some plausible way of denying that it’s a church. Dropping theology is a no-brainer.
Moldbug writes a series on Richard Dawkins. Foseti writes,
The series begins by treating progressivism as a sort of infection of the mind. Assume progressivism is a virus that is solely concerned with spreading itself into as many minds as possible. We see the idea’s evolution, in which it starts as a fundamentalist religious belief and ends up discarding theism so as to better propagate itself in an officially secular system of government. Shed of overt theism, Progressivism “can be propagated by American official institutions, which are constitutionally prohibited from endorsing its ancestor or competitor [ie theistic Christianity].” The devil’s greatest trick . . . and so on.
Moldbug:
Just say, “I’m an atheist, I’m an atheist, I’m an atheist.” And no one will ever be able to accuse you of being a religious fanatic, at least not without substantial preparatory explanation. What more perfect cover story for an actual religious fanatic?Read more here.
