Have you? Where? I heard about it in metamodernism but this is quite new and also weird. We see it in Jordan Peterson's popularity and Matthew d'Ancona's new book urges an appreciation of this. There's a long history of relating secular ideologies to religious ideologies, obv.

I mean I've been hearing "SJWs are religious fanatics, you can't reason with them with facts and logic." Translate to: "Social justice acts as myth, so technological responses are bound to fail." (Which is an overstatement, by the way. Technological attacks can demolish myths.)
