Richard Dawkins recently explained that he self-identifies as a cultural christian. He doesn’t believe in Deus, but he enjoys many christian traditions, including carols and hymns. This particular article is written from a Christian perspective, which I do not personally agree with, but it correctly interprets that Dawkins’ cultural christianity seems to be a dogwhistle for whiteness. Many atheists like Dawkins are cultural christians, in ways that subtly reinforce white supremacist narratives.
most church bells aren’t particularly pleasant they are just loud and sonourous i suppose but i’d rather not be hearing them than hearing them
same for grandfather clocks tbh, shut up over there and let me experience time at my own rate
