Next #Secularization
Secularization as the independence from religious authority is rational progress toward the autonomous evolved consciousness.
The next upcoming secularization extends towards independence from scientific and economic authority, achieved by
- widespread rationality in the form of ontological idealism
- economic independence by shunning fake products and flight from slavery through self-employment
- replacement @economics @politics @philosophy @society @education @rants
I started Day 2 of #Atheism Explained? in another #Secularization session.
First, highlights of interviews about non-#religiosity in #Estonia from Atko Remmel (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Atko-Remmel)
Then Piotr Paweł Laskowski shared that in an expanded DIM-R dataset (https://doi.org/10.1080/2153599X.2024.2305447) there were — among other things — intermediate relationships between analytic thinking and (lower) odds of #religion in a large sample of people from #Poland — more on this tomorrow, I'm told.
In the opening plenary session of #Atheism Explained?, three authors meet commenters.
The #book: Beyond Doubt
The #Secularization of #Society (https://amzn.to/3zcRR5y)
Phil Zuckerman compared the book's claims to prior claims about #religion.
Ryan Cragun sketched their multi-facted model of secularization.
Isabella Kasselstand showed us how some of the #data aligns with the model.
Hugh Turpin and Lois Lee gave rousing commentary!
How Christianity’s Decline Impacts White Christians’ Emotional and Attitudinal Response
“Racial resentment predicts Christian nationalism, Christian persecution beliefs, and White persecution beliefs. In other words, negative stereotypes about Black Americans are related to Christian nationalism and persecution beliefs. But while Whiteness and Christianity are undeniably intertwined among Whites, our experiment provides evidence that they cannot be conflated.”

#TerritorialDispute morphing into #ReligiousDispute, like #Arabism-#Zionism

Next year will mark 400 years since #NormalYear in #PeaceOfWestphalia — ALL conflicts that gave rise to #ThirtyYearsWar were resolved
It ushered in #religiousTolerance & #secularization in #Europe
#Catholics & #Protestants (#Calvinists, #Lutherans) accepted each other & rejected #forcedConversion
Expect reprise of 30yr War if #Trump is reelected next year https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111446174021361216
Interesting to note the rapid secularization of #Italy. In just 20 years, non-practitioners have surpassed assiduous practitioners in most Italian regions.

Why #Secularization Does Not Lead to Perpetual #Liberal Government
@njudd That #secularization in #SociologyOfReligion was wrong not so much because it failed to adequately consider belief without belonging, but because it ignored global religion.
