I find it wondrous how oblivious you’re being to the fact that your words make you seem just as bad as the kind of extremism you’re describing.
Zeal needs no religion to breed extremist views, just the hubris of a self-righteous person who thinks they know enough to judge all. Then religion becomes a tool to justify whatever opinion they’re trying to impose and whatever acts they choose to commit. Violence included.
So I don’t think being a militant atheist gives you superpowers. Nearly been there, almost done that. Stopped and did a U turn at some point. Sought answers. Then found my peace and own dogma. I encourage you to try and do the same.
Scientific version of what I’m trying to say if you’re interested (contributions welcome if you’re a neuroscientist or have access to an LLM with access to journals).
