"secular buildings" posts buildings with a bunch of angels on it, buildings modelled after cathedrals The aesthetic movements borne of atheism suck, which is why all the buildings you posted are part of an aesthetic movement not borne out of atheism

you could build beautiful without the angels i don't necessarily have examples on hand bc i can't tell what is or isn't an angel i think there's a confounding factor of modernity, which causes both ugly buildings and proliferation of atheism; atheism doesn't *cause* ugliness

when humanity gets its shit together in the future, we will build with glorious beauty, angels or not, god or not

Even the word "glorious" is rooted in the divine man embrace it Idgaf about a particular god or gods but building something "for the glory of gods eyes" is a hell of a better motivation than anything secular I mean fuck it let beauty be your god but still build shit for God

>let beauty be your god ok, if you define theism that widely, then sure, you're right but then atheism doesn't really exist, because everyone has "god(s)" in this sense

Eh I would argue there's some set of things which can be gods and some which can't Utility, for example. I'd argue one's god cannot be utility, although this is not based in anything

Dunno the Effective Altruists are quite good at making Utility into a god right. It is quite a good one for its believers.

Altruism is their God, not utility. Utility is just a way to maximise their tithe
