People are getting dumber regardless. At least the traditional religions promoted morality, forgiveness, discipline and self improvement.

this doesn't sound like a rational take. Average IQ stagnated in many developed nations, in some places it decreased, but only a little.

And if traditional religions look to you like they have significant benefits, it's only by comparison with woke lunacy.

Yes, religious morons are better than atheist morons, but neither is acceptable to me. Don't you think it is worth dealing with the moron problem?

Yes. Morons are a problem regardless of their religious believes.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found I've got a little list — I've got a little list Of society offenders who might well be underground And who never would be missed — who never would be missed! There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs — All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs — All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat — All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that — And all third persons who on spoiling tête-á-têtes insist — They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!

[Chorus] He's got 'em on the list — he's got 'em on the list; And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed

[KO-KO] There's the nigger serenader, and the others of his race And the piano-organist — I've got him on the list! And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face They never would be missed — they never would be missed! Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone All centuries but this, and every country but his own; And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy And who "doesn't think she dances, but would rather like to try"; And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist — I don't think she'd be missed — I'm sure she'd not he missed!

[Chorus] He's got her on the list — he's got her on the list; And I don't think she'll be missed — I'm sure she'll not be missed!

[KO-KO] And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife The Judicial humorist — I've got him on the list! All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life — They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob, and likewise — Never-mind And 'St— 'st— 'st— and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who — The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!

[Chorus] You may put 'em on the list — you may put 'em on the list; And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed!

But the mainstream orthodoxy has always shut that down anyway, so there's little difference.
