Trad. Religions Out-compete Ersatz Varieties for Meaning Making

Derek Thompson of the Atlantic had a very interesting tweet about the progression he sees from new atheism to religion curious. This responding to another tweet about the growing popularity of Q-Anon. 

Clay Routledge has been working this beat for a bit noting now when people give up traditional religion they don't become "rational" as the New Atheists promised but embrace pseudo-religions which are less functional at offering the meaning their looking for.
