science and other worldly forms of reason have been twisted into irrational cultism, much closer to what non-religious people criticized religion as being 20 years ago. at the end of the day, only a fraction of the population's capable of functioning without religion, and even then it's not a true full rejection of it. so all these people claiming to be atheists now are sheep without a shepherd. they're filling the void of religion with new dogmas like a cult-like bastardization of "science" or some kind of political extremism.
