New "Religion"

I read this in IDEA and thought it was very astute.

PN -13.3.21

We are experiencing how the freedom in the Arts and the intellectual culture of debate is being ever more replaced by a quasi-religious world view in which everything revolves around the struggle against power structures. This new religion deeply distrusts reason and replaces it with feelings and the affliction/dismay of people.
- John McWhorter, Professor of Linguistics (New York), in a Spiegel (Magazine) interview
