What now, anon? How does society keep itself stitched together? You can't just toss it all out the window, but perhaps we can have an honest discussion about why mythos and religion has been historically important to keep society in check. Hedonism isn't going to get us anywhere, and our children, quite literally, are our future.
If God was real, then children would've never been in the crosshairs of the enemy of society/liberty. But here we are, 2024, and horrible realities are coming into mainstream media, redpilling countless millions. Jesus wanted to establish a church in each person, not an earthly building. There's hope and purpose in that and it is way more important to live in a way that realizes it in an earthly sense as opposed to a post-life fulfillment of things unprovable. Arianists were right in what they proposed and the reason they were cast out and hunted down as heretics after the Council of Nicaea is because it robbed instituted religion of power over the masses, their minds, their souls, their purpose, and their energy. Religion is the biggest scam to have ever been perpetrated on mankind.
Returning power to the people, then, must be met with an equally important personal mission to improve society from a desire to see a fulfillment of an earthly mission. You don't have to believe in God to know that taking away spiritual purpose from everyone by qualifying beliefs like atheism is a major detriment to society. Secular Humanists have dealt with this issue extensively, and Enlightenment thinkers based their judgements about how to live their lives gauging institutional religious doctrine/dogma against an attempt to understand the nature of the world we live in from a scientific (provable) perspective. This balance of quantifying subjective experience in search of objective purpose is what separated the control and power of the church and state over the minds of truly free-thinking men.
