Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"People have credibly proposed that progressivism is a religion.
I don't agree.
Progressivism has many of the trappings of religion. It has its rituals, its codes, and its sacraments. But as a religion, if fails one important test.
Unfalsifiability.
The aspect that it cannot be proven false. Religion depends on faith in a higher power, one that cannot be physically proven.
Progressivism is falsifiable - it can be proven wrong. Every single aspect can be proven and every outcome predicted.
Progressivism is a cult, not a religion."
