Social Charlatanism

Social Charlatanism, also referred as Social Quackery, Cultural Charlatanism or Cultural Quackery, is a term, often satirical and pejorative, used to refer to the idea of some new atheist and scientificist groups and communites where all non-scientific relations and things, mainly social, cultural, political, religious, esoteric, spiritual, occultistic, metaphysical, extraphysical and immaterialistic relations and things are forms of charlatanism / quackery, where only scientific and neopositivistic things are true and not forms of charlatanism and quackery. Social charlatanism also supports the concept of Charlatanism of Good or Quackery of Good, that's also a pejorative and satirical term for refer to the idea that everything that social charlatanism calls of being as forms of charlatanism might be good since they benefit both sides and even that can motivate people to live and even to have a good life and even grow in life as well.
"Social charlatanism is a really common concept among new atheist and neopositivist groups, literally all of them believe on this concept such as in the concept or charlatanism of good, but what they cannot realize is that it's not because something is not scientific that means it's false or charlatanism, such as evidence-based spirituality and spiritualicism actually say, and even that scientistic shillism shows what social charlatanism is actually about."
