I was amazed at all of my vegan friends (now former friends) who spent decades battling the machine and then promptly bent over to accommodate anything and everything the machine wanted to stick in them. Belief in Progress is a hell of a drug.

There seems to be a connection between atheism and an obsession with health and safety. Perhaps it's because of a fear of death. Maybe the dividing line isn't between deplorable and PMC but between belief in an afterlife and belief in becoming worm food (as my co-worker calls her death.)

IMO, this is *exactly* where the divide lies: how healthy is your attitude toward death?

Yes, exactly. If you believe you only live once, the idea of death after having all of your perks and creature comforts stripped away because is absolutely terrifying.
