I'm so sick of hearing from conservatives about the so called 'Secular agenda' in which people who don't believe in strictly religion-derived morals are involved in some kind of terrible conspiracy to destroy their values.
There are people out there who think that all secular humanists are these terrible, depraved, immoral, evil people who want to see our children adopted by devil worshipping pedophiles.
Is that really any different than, say, any other kind of prejudice?
But it's hard to accuse somebody of something there isn't a word for. There isn't an equivalent of 'Racist', 'Sexist', 'Homophobe', 'Anti-semite' to refer to these Pat Robertsons, Bill O'Reilly's, and Rick Santorums.

I know I am out to destroy their "values" as the values of conservatives are inferior.

Maybe a good word would be "theocrat" or maybe just "lunatic".

Hell yeah! Fuck relativism!

That latter one is so fitting. It gets my vote.
Hell yeah! Fuck relativism!
Fuck it asunder. The lunatics must be crushed.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, lunatic has too much of a negative connotation, it seems like your insulting them (granted sexist is an insult but lunatic is too general). I propose a specific word like RobertsonO'reilly'nSantorumism
lunatic has too much of a negative connotation, it seems like your insulting them
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Already is one. Zealotry. In the interests of moral relativism it isn't used enough, or as pointedly as it should be.
Huh?
I though simply referring to the as conservatives was enough?:confused:

You say that like it's a bad thing.Well, it is a bit ambiguous.
Besides, if you want to be technical, a lunatic is someone who worships the moon. They actually don't do that.
Though, it would be funny to call them by the name of something they oppose. So, I guess lunatic is okay.
Huh?
I though simply referring to the as conservatives was enough?:confused: :p :D That made me laugh.

There is hypocrisy in this threadNot really.
Are there examples of people who are attempting to overturn religious morals? Yes. But does that mean that it's what every secularist wants? No. I mean, I'm a secularist, but I only try to overturn the religious principles which I think injustly constrict certain people.
