More words we atheists can use in our fight to save the Enlightenment

[es35]

I previously suggested we start using the term "god-myth" instead of "god: whenever the occasion arises.

I am now adding to this list the suggestion that we use the term "religious totalitarianism" instead of either "religion" or "religious" because that is what we are up against in our fight to save the Enlightenment. Yes, it is a mouthful but it really describes their intent accurately and avoids using dirty words. It also hits them right between the eyes where they need to be hit. We have to remind them continually that they are trying to disable the secular democratic protections against tyranny that our founders gave us.

It becomes a war of social pressure between them and us, which we have to fight if we want to save our system.

1. Sounds about right to me. I think the other side might like the label, though.

Totalitarianism is exactly what they want. Many already wave the flag of "dominionism" and make no excuses for their push to place the whole world under the Christian yoke. They think the bible grants them a deed to ownership of the world.
