[contra Weber] “Freed of ‘superstitious’ magical rituals, religion became a matter of internal conviction. But this claim is dubious. Technical literacy, then, led straight to Weber’s ‘disenchantment of the world’. It was a direct consequence of those how-to books that translated mysterious craft secrets into simple rules….Weber’s concept of charismatic leadership offers some insights.

I call it “village atheism.” I coined the term to classify a self-contained community of socially unaware atheists who reside within and reinforce a feedback loop of ignorance.
