Special importance attaches to one point connected with the progress of the Lemurian development, in consequence of the mode of life which was pursued by the women. They developed, by this way of living, special human powers. The unity of their imaginative power with Nature became the basis of a higher development of the imaginative life. Through their senses they drew into themselves the forces of Nature, and allowed these to react on their souls. Thus were the germs of memory formed. And with memory there entered into the world the capacity to form the first and very simplest of moral conceptions. The culture of the will in the masculine element brought, at the outset, no development of the mind. Man followed instinctively either natural impulses or influences emanating from the Initiates. Womankind gave birth to the first conceptions of “good and evil.” Here they began on the one hand to love that which made a special impression on their imaginative life, and on the other hand to hate its opposite. While the rule exercised by the masculine element was directed more to the external effect of the powers of will, to the management of natural powers, in the feminine element there arose at the same time an impulse through the feelings, through the inner personal human powers. He only can comprehend the development of mankind correctly who realizes that the first steps forward in the sphere of imagination were made by women. The development of habits dependent on the meditative, imaginative life, on the cultivation of memory which formed the nucleus of a life of order, of a sort of moral life, came from this side. Whereas man perceived and employed natural forces, woman became the first interpreter of these. It was a new and special mode of life that here arose — that of Thought. This mode had something far more personal than that of men. Now we must understand that this feminine mode was itself really a kind of clairvoyance, even though it differed from the magic of the will on the part of man. Woman was, in her soul, responsive to another kind of spiritual power, — to such as appealed more to the element of feeling, and less to the spiritual element to which man was subjected. There emanated thus from men an influence which was more naturally divine, from women one that was more psychically divine.

The Prince Philip Movement. Wish I’d put that as my religion on the 2021 census:

Gnosticism
...as the Mother of Freemasonry, has imposed its mark in the very centre of the chief symbol of this association. The most conspicuous emblem which one notices on entering a masonic temple, the one which figures on the seals, on the rituals, everywhere in fact, appears in the middle of the interlaced square and compass, it is the five pointed star framing the letter G. Different explanations of this letter G are given to the initiates. In the lower grades, one is taught that it signifies Geometry. To the brothers frequenting the lodges admitting women as members, it is revealed that the mystic letter means Generation, but the revelation is attended with great secrecy. Finally, those found worthy to penetrate into the sanctuary of Knights Kadosch, the enigmatic letter becomes the initial of the doctrine of the perfect initiates which is Gnosticism. This explanation is no longer an imaginary fabrication. It is Gnosticism which is the real meaning of the G in the flamboyant star, for, after the grade of Kadosch (a Hebrew word meaning consecrated) the Freemasons dedicate themselves to the glorification of Gnosticism (or anti-christianity) which is defined by Albert Pike as the soul and marrow of Freemasonry.

^ you getting mystical on us? Religion on Religion off, yet it has all the characteristics and attributes of another system that is on in the human spectrum. The claim of rationality is sparse since there is still no proof offered coming from an atheist system. That science will catch up to your belief system is different, then people thinking jesus one day will come back?

Again... Atheism is the lack of belief in GOD(s) not religion.
The person who doesn't subscribe to religions or spirituality is a secularist.

Fellow Saganite, I assure you that I am on your side. I fucking hate theists and xtians more than anyone in the world. They do nothing but bring us down with their stupid fucking fairytale book that tells people to love their neighbors and give to the poor. It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach when I hear someone tell me they'll "pray for me", maybe instead of praying they should actually do something like PWN fun[dies] on Facebook and drink mtn dew like us. I actually have a 4 step program to rid the fundies if you'd like to peer review it for me that would be incredible.. Alright so here it is:
Rehabilitation. Teach the fundies how their god is not real. I think this would be successful for at least 90% of the cases.
Sterilization. If people don't renounce their religion they should be sterilized. This way, they die alone and won't be able to spread their stupidity to children and out breed atheists. This would prevent an Idiocracy situation from occurring.
Imprisonment. If there are still people preaching their religion after this they should be thrown in either an asylum or in a prison. They can make license plates for cars after that along with picking up from trash by the road.
Execution. Only after this all happens worldwide will a near utopian society like the one depicted in this family guy episode would be possible.
Proof of this method working though can be found within any decent history text book about the USSR. Despite being a "dirty communist" country the USSR transformed from an agrarian society to the first nation in space in a few decades by eradicating theism. The PRC also implemented similar policies during the 60s/70s which led to the confiscation of religious property and opened the way to the economic successes of today. Likewise, Russia's economic failures during the 90s can be linked to a rise of religion.
