  • So we’re clear, I am not conservative by any means. Reviewing the article for hints, I don’t see anything that I would call “thinly-veiled conservative propaganda” at all. The same words in the same order could be written anyone with any political perspective. Maybe my skeptic muscle isn’t working right now. Please point out what you mean.

    That said, the content doesn’t have anything specific to do with atheism or religious bias. Tangentially, the right is fueled in large part by religion, which fuels the hatred being mentioned. I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch.

    I posted the link because it’s on a prominent atheist blogroll. I subscribe to many of them and collect the articles here, because Lemmy is a link aggregation website. It’s pretty typical for people in a community of perspectives with one specifically in common to share many (not all) similar values and interest in similar topics, so I thought that a topic of interest for the author in question would be appreciated by enough of our community to be worth sharing.

    To be sure, am not rooting around the web looking for articles about natural disasters and puppy mills and topics completely unrelated to philosophical discourse and superstitious belief. My posts will, at least, be humanities focused. Often, I find the propensity for humans to seek out and find - or create - differences to compartmentalize each other into rival groups of particular interest and relevance here.
