Gender ideology is a religion.

Exactly. It seems many unintelligent people are unable to exist without some guiding dogmatism in their life. So when they were deprived of traditional religion, they adopted a new dogmatism. I'm afraid true free thought is only possible for a minority who are destined to be persecuted by the sheeplike masses.

The big issue is that these people have the same persecution complex but it gets viewed as a civil rights issue instead of whiney religious people trying to proselytize.

It's as if the end times preacher who stood on a soap box in the middle of campus and was scoffed at was given a classroom to teach and every HR department is bowing down to him.

Edit - also btw i believe it's in our DNA to be predisposed to religion. It's part of natural selection to have a sense that "everything happens for a reason." If you hear a bush rustle it's better to assume it might be a lion stalking you than to ignore it as random. When culture evolved we had less to worry about but the sense transfers over to say... the sun comes up every day, must be the sun god. Or now some man is like "I'm not masculine enough to be a man... must be a woman."

It's not so different from how religion was treated a few generations ago. Opposing religion used to be seen as a sign of a morally degenerate person. And I agree, there is a certain instinct to attach yourself to a popular belief system and power-wielding orthodox group. Only those with superior commitment to truth will buck the trend.

Part of the reason why most thinkers nowadays think a true atheist is very rare. Many people who claim to be so wind up joining another form of religion either as the woke, partisan politics, or the satanic church. I'm not kidding about the satanic church part.

The satanic church is there to troll religious people.

$cience is a religion. It can't be questioned.

But, maybe it can be..

¿$cience?

All it did is help clump the insanely stupid into one group. Now we can confidently know who to keep out of our lives.
