RE: An age of Medusa: the syndrom of overprotective mother enters politics
The accessibility of content on the internet and the freedom and power with which dogmatic logic supporters put down religion and religion-based decision making as frivolous and possibly also frame young people, minorities, and immigrants as weak and oppressed groups of people is partly the reason for this.
Those who typically make religion-based decisions may think twice about expressing their thought-process and even cover it with rational factors, simply because they don't want to come across under strong fire of ridicule. After all, under strong firepower, most faiths are unable to be tangibly proven to the level that satisfies the average human being.
Thus, we see peer pressure suppressing the expression of groups of individuals even on the online platform.
