Unenlightenment
Coined by journalist Charlie Brooker
Welcome to a dangerous new era - the Unlightenment - in which centuries of rational thought are overturned by idiots. Superstitious idiots. They're everywhere - reading horoscopes, buying homeopathic remedies, consulting psychics, babbling about "chakras" and "healing energies", praying to imaginary gods, and rejecting science in favour of soft-headed bunkum. But instead of slapping these people round the face till they behave like adults, we encourage them. We've got to respect their beliefs, apparently.

Dr. Derp: blah blah blah (genetic fundamentalism)
Professor Plonker: blah blah blah (absurd reductionism)
Unenlightenmentalism.
