Yeah, we've never really abandoned the idea. It's cathartic on the one hand, especially in suffering, and self serving on another..particularly when you intend to cause that suffering. It's a kings fate to rule and a soldiers fate to die for him and the peasants fate to toil and starve in his service. If your children all die, it was their fate. Not his fault or your fault. Nothing to be done about any of it. So, button up and work work work ya plebs.
Fatalism is the subtext of the portion of global politics that assert its pointless to address global warming, too...it's not limited to religious beliefs or ideas about the supernatural.
