Religious Trauma Syndrome is a medical disorder characterized by symptoms similar to depression, anxiety, and AVPD. Religious Trauma is caused by bad experiences with toxic and controlling religions and (especially) religious people.
With the steady but noticeable decline of religion around the world, in addition to poor mental health in atheists and teens/young adults, Religious Trauma has begun to gain traction and is slowly being taken more seriously, although it's still seldom brought up and has yet to be officially recognized.
People with Religious Trauma usually become "angry atheists" - people who are absolutely opposed to all forms of religion and extremely hostile towards religious people.

Get the Religious Trauma mug.Unlike what most dumbasses will tell you, religious pluralism is not the idea that ever religion is correct, but instead the idea that anyone can attain spiritual enlightenment no matter what religion they were raised to believe
(Average televangelist who probably only does it for the money): Religious pluralism can’t be true! Islam and Christianity believe two different things about Jesus, therefore I have the right to force my fundamentalist religious zeal on others!

Get the Religious Pluralism mug.A historical model tracing how humanity's ultimate authority figure has evolved: from Polytheistic gods (multiple, chaotic, like Greek myths), to Monotheistic God (one, absolute, providing universal order, like in Christianity/Islam), to the modern "gods" of Science & Atheism (where logic, data, and human reason are the new sources of dogma). Jiang argues each stage centralizes more abstract and powerful control over human thought and morality. The current "Age of Science" is just another religion with its own priesthood (academics), heretics (climate deniers), and promise of salvation (technological utopia).
Example: "Religious Power Evolution Theory says wokeism is the new monotheism: there's one original sin (oppression), a clear devil (the racist/sexist), a path to salvation (allyship), and an inquisition (cancel culture). It's not science; it's theology with a sociology degree."
