 The modern [[Atheism|atheistic]] and [[egalitarian]] envy of genuine greatness or admirable public moral rectitude impels many persons in the [[Media|public media]] to attempt to [[slander]] and [[libel]] anyone who displays virtue or is in an enviable position of power. (See [https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/egalitarianism/ ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'': egalitarianism (plato.stanford.edu)].) It is a form of hatred of the good and of moral-ethical leadership (''auctoritas''). They want no heroes or leaders of admirable character, and outwardly act as if they do not believe such people could possibly be what they seem to be and have tasked themselves with the mission of unmasking them as frauds who have betrayed the public trust. See [[Hypocrites]]. Many of them who despise and ridicule Christianity and the Ten Commandments as repressively intolerant [[bigotry]], virtually hold public figures and governmental officials to a standard of essentially [[Judeo-Christian]] moral behavior and condemn them when they are charged with violations of it, calling for their removal. This is not because they admire virtue, but because they despise it and are disgusted by it, and because the very sight of genuine virtue is a hardship for them. (See [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Wisdom+2%3A12-24&version=RSVCE Wisdom 2:12-24 "''through the envy of the devil death entered the world''."])

 Politically, atheists tend to lean towards the [[leftism|left]] (see: [[Secular left]] and [[Atheism and politics]]).
