Soon we’re going to have to add techbros as their own religion. I swear they’re going to start praying to the machine spirits soon.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day, the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.
Tell that to the landfills full of machines.
not me tho im different 😏
Haven’t you heard? They’re called “Digital Nomads” now.

Have you not listened to how they talk about the singularity, transhumanism, effective altruism, AI, “”“rationalism”“”, and all that shit?
They are religious, even if they don’t self identify that way. You can tell because they reinvented Hell as a spooky AI torment nexus.

The conversation is about religious ‘nones’ which absolutely includes tech bros. I wanted to make the point that ‘none’ is an incomplete category. It’s directly related to the article. I don’t know why you’re trying to portray my comment as off topic 🙄
… also I wanted to make a WH40k joke
ill believe it when they vote that way. how many atheist politicians? if its more than 1 ill be shocked
It’s not none but it’s not something you go and tell everyone, it’s not good politically.
I believe 8 states still have “unenforceable” laws preventing atheists from holding office. Kinda wild.
I know one! She’s on a local city council.
To get to these numbers, people who identify as “nothing in particular” are lumped in with atheists and agnostics. Without that, this group is pretty small. However, they may believe in some kind of god. There’s accusations of hypocrisy that atheists are happy to include this group to pump the numbers, but are less welcoming when they learn their actual beliefs.
Still, this atheist does think this represents an important step in removing religion from its dominant position in society.
What politicians say and what they actually believe is often likely different. For example, how many believe Trump is Christian?
yes this is a good point… kinda. valid, and disappointing as it reinforces the fact they still have to fake it to get elected
I’m atheist and the article says we’re more likely to care about politics. Checks out. I strongly encourage voting, even though Dems are a letdown. But ranked choice voting would be a step in the right direction.
This is misleading. They made each of the different denominations of Christianity a separate group, but atheists, agnostics, and people who believe in a higher power but don’t belong to any specific religion are all lumped together.
It’s misleading for certain purposes, but no purpose is implied by the headline. For some purposes it would be equally as misleading to categorise Mormons with Catholics. The denominations don’t collectively act as a bloc on many issues/topics
This is misleading.
What you point out is mentioned in the article, so how is it misleading?
