Even those in the west who hate religion often have a very Christian outlook on life.

I think about this all the time.

You can see it in what passes for politics – people are only interested in judging who is Good and who is Bad.

It's part of the reason I've been using the internet a lot less; it is overrun with Puritan hordes.

Yeah, puritanism and "good" and "evil" thinking even runs through western leftism quite deeply. I'm quite guilty of it myself.
