Religions need postmodernism. Postmodernism actually does real good when let loose on religion. It allows people to reconceptualise what were previously thought of as immutable truths as something more ironic and pliable.

I don't get why we need postmodernism to have satire about religion/politics. Read "The Frogs" by Aristophanes c.427ish BC and he pretty expended enough sarcasm to warm my heart a couple of millennia later.

Because of the postmodernist meta-textual approach in which 'truth' is treated as just one more narrative among many. Which is actually quite a good approach when the 'truth' refers to religious dogma.

It does defang it to quite an extent but it makes it doubly annoying and it can still go sour when postmodernism evolves and weakens and takes on activisty stuff
