> Among the people of QAnon, faith remains absolute. True believers describe a feeling of rebirth, an irreversible arousal to existential knowledge. They are certain that a Great Awakening is coming. They’ll wait as long as they must for deliverance.
This is the sort of silliness I meant,not just the title but the whole content. According to the author religion is anything that rejects "enlightenment values". Every conspiracy theory,flat earthers, anti-vaxxers are all in the same boat as 90%+ of the planet (or at least a majority depending on how you mea,sure regular participation in religious services) that subscribe to organized systems of belief that describe origins of the world and how to live life correctly.
To me (and I am biased), this sounds like a propaganda piece meant to spread hate against anyone that disagrees with the author about "enlightenment ideals". Qanon is as much a religion as fascism and communism were at their very early stages. It's a social (dis)order , it has nothing to do with religion.
- hindsightbias 6y agoEarly Fascist tenents were very much a reaction to the godless enlightment and 19th century secularism. It is religious if that’s your social baseline. I’ll predict that Qanoners lean evangelical.
