Securewashing

:imparting a false impression of cyber resilience through unsubstantiated claims to deceive an organization into thinking they are protected from attacks

: the act of servicing generic compliance frameworks or hollow certifications with minimal effort or results in order to convey a false impression of security
Hackers broke into the company's servers because management used compliance frameworks as a securewashing instead of actually improving their security.

Secular Horseshoe Theory

The Secular Horseshoe Theory is a theory that states that anti-theists (including new atheists, militant atheists, atheist extremists and atheist zealots) and religious fundamentalists are the same, and that share similar characteristics and similar behavior.
The Secular Horseshoe Theory can be proved by seeing how anti-theists and religious fundamentalists behave between themselves.
