  1. How atheists screwed up our culture: Christianity grew out of Judaism, both emphasize compassion, helping the weak. But they also emphasize a whole bunch of other values. We used to say the Lord's Prayer in school. Then the Bill Maher atheist type removed it from school, with help from the Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins type. They think they're so clever. Trouble is, if we don't teach humans at a young age, a whole bunch of good values via religion, they have less reason to believe in things like right and wrong. Religion works because it says, humans aren't all that good and need to be trained to be good, or else they often aren't good. But the Richard Dawkins type disagreed with that. And they won. Many people are secular. Of course, here comes progressives, with a bunch of ideas that exploit young human brains, hack them with Woke ideology and moral confusion. Elon says he believes in moral absolutes. Trouble is, if there is no belief in God to support belief in moral absolutes, then people generally don't. And the trouble also is, humans are wired for religion, so when Judaism or Christianity are not taught, other religions are created, like Woke. They have a lot of appeal because humans really are, partly wired for compassion. So Woke hijacked that wiring, but without an attached belief in God. But if you take God out of the equation, what happens? Something replaces it: ideology, the thoughts of the Woke elite? Curious fact from a scientific point of view: Modern humans have been here about 200,000 years. Most of that time they didn't even know most other humans existed. Hundreds of thousands of separated tribes and races and languages, all came to basically common agreements about life: Belief in a God or gods, moral codes, the idea of an afterlife. No atheist tribes or nations lasted in evolution. Why is that? We're wired for belief in God, because that's what works. I was saying to an atheist friend the other day, "Richard Dawkins is a good scientist, but a kind of an idiot." My friend agreed. I don't have all the answers, but the Dennis Prager types are obviously right on this.
