People will get pissy and scream “Reddit atheist 😡” but religion and its normalization of belief without evidence plays directly into the world of reactionary politics and stupidity we see today. We need to foster a scientific and materialist worldview

No because the conservatism that held science back was literally religion 💀

If you had half a brain you’d understand that religion directly supports and upholds class oppression, racism, and sexism, as part of the superstructure, it is a tool of reaction. The fact these issues persist is hugely thanks to religions role in reaction.

That was in the past. But what matters is what’s happening in the present, and right now, religion usually causes more problems for science than it helps. Plus, science doesn’t need religion in order to grow, so why bother with religion?

Most of science is actually pretty liberal. They only deny conservatism when it’s unscientific, which happens a lot

What movement typically uses the term reactionary? Would opposing religion be a reaction according to that movement 💀

Reactionary is predominantly used by leftists and Marxists to describe reaction (opposition) to the progress of historical materialism. An atheist or Marxist wouldn’t be “reactionary” unless they were in reaction to progress. What do you mean when “communists” and “atheists” are “reactionary”. In reaction to what?

Ok then by its basic level what are they reactionary towards? Politically that term is explicitly connected with the left wing and those against the reaction to scientific progress, so using it in a political discussion against left wing and atheist types doesn’t quite make sense lol

If you mean defensive, I’d just ask if you mean that arguing your point makes one defensive?

So they are in reaction to the people they disagree with? Uhh yeah lol. I feel like you don’t know what this word means even divorced of political context. It doesn’t mean “mean or bad” 💀

Well if conservatives say global warming is not real, they disagree strongly because the evidence says otherwise. That’s just one example
