"Internet atheism" is not representative of atheists
Most atheists probably don't care about religion enough to participate in internet atheist forums. —LT Rev. 22:13 Wednesday, 10:43, September 20, 2023 (EDT)
- The apathy of atheists is one of the reasons why desecularization is a trend from a global perspective and why this trend will accelerate in the 21st century. See: Acceleration of 21st century desecularization and Growth of global desecularization
Future Shock is a 1970 book written by American futurist Alvin Toffler and his spouse Adelaide Farrell. The book defines the term "future shock" as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire societies. A concise definition for the term "future shock" in the book is a personal perception of "too much change in too short a period of time".
A psychogenic illness is one that originates in the mind or in a mental condition. Psychosomatic disorders and mental illness that is not caused by an underlying physical condition are examples of psychogenic illnesses.
There are definitely secular progressives, who are having great difficulty adjusting to the growth of religion in the world and its effects on societies due to future shock. For example, the website Marketwatch reported concerning the aftermath of the 2016 presidential race: Donald Trump’s win is causing a surge in demand for mental health services.[1] See also: Secular leftists and psychogenic illness
And this desecularization is going to increase in terms of its pace (See: Acceleration of 21st-century desecularization).
Due to a string of socially conservative rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court in terms of cases related to abortion, school choice and religious schools (Carson v. Makin) and other social matters, and secular leftists being poorly able to mentally handle these societal changes, the secular left in the United States is getting further and further unhinged.
Of course, religious people can handle societal change better than secular leftists because they are mentally tougher (see: Atheism and mental toughness).
Wayne Rainey, professional motorcycle racer: "As a racer you always have that in the back of your mind that. You always wonder "When is it going to happen?" Because it will happen. You will fall off.".
A psychogenic illness is one that originates in the mind or in a mental condition. Psychosomatic disorders and mental illness that is not caused by an underlying physical condition are examples of psychogenic illnesses.

And this desecularization is going to increase in terms of its pace (See: Acceleration of 21st-century desecularization).
