I'll make a few comments on the #NRx/religion thread. Most significantly, nobody is going to be able to bring back traditional religion.
People are leaving because of changes in knowledge and tech, just like they always have. The difference is that now even middle-IQ people

have access to more of the knowledge and tech than ever.
-
Just talked to a Southern Baptist today who was talking about his church sending aid for water wells in Ethiopia.
-
Anyway, whether I agree or disagree about the value of traditional religion (and I do see value in it), it's not coming back.
-
#NRx has to deal with this future. SJWs already are, and their future involves communism, white extermination, civilization collapse. -
SJWs get into competitions over who is most universalist, most anti-racist.The church used to channel these moral impulses into less harmful
-
My wife adds: competitive morality is a way people try to gain social dominance over each other (like high school)
-
Male and female feminists use feminism to gain dominance over beta males. White and black anti-racists use it to gain dom over poor whites
-
Endpoint of these morality battles is government spoils. Religious belief does not change the structure that allows this.
-
Even conservative religion has been captured by the SJW agenda. Even a return to 1700s religion could only be temporary.
-
One reason these morality battles may be increasing: lack of material dominance outlets for most people. Harder for most to gain wealth
-
Partly due to increasing gov (people have less agency to do anything these days), partly due to increasing automation (robots do it better).
-
With increasing size of government, people will naturally fight more and more over spoils--usually with these morality fights.
-
I'm not trying to antagonize all religion here, I just see the secularization trend as inevitable, and I want an alternative to the SJW path
