I’m not religious, fwiw. What I said applies to both religious and non-religious people. I just think people who subordinate themselves to a higher power (or purpose) tend to be more concentrated among the religious.

My problem is that it applies to theists in a positive way and atheists in a negative way. You complain that hardcore atheists are too critical of the worst of religion, then you say something absurdly critical about atheists.


I was mainly saying something about my intuition of how certain traits correlate with each other. I’m probably wrong, btw; I use HN as a thinking apparatus, so I tend to go out on a limb here and see what people push back with.
