Pat Condell has a few ideas about “Progressives“.

In my own mind I used to seperate belief in gods and belief in “woo” – astrology, tarot cards, homeopathy etc. but really they are all just different forms of magical thinking. I too find that many people who now define themselves as non-religious (as opposed to using the term “atheist”) can easily substitute another form of “woo” to replace their…[Read more]

Getting rid of religion is a reward in itself. No replacement needed. Oh poor me, I ditched my religion and now all that is on offer is reality.
