No? Pure projection, as ever. Theistic faith is shrinking. They're not able to cash any checks about other people being wrong and/or bad..anymore...so it angles for being no worse, themselves.
The final rejection of that, btw, is why theistic faith is losing it's fucking mind here in the US, at present. Of needing to come to terms with the fact that it is worse. The only way for it to survive is to capitulate or endorse wrong-as-right - redefining the societal norms that have escaped it.
That's what neopaganism is. A reactionary attempt to salvage theism. For what it's worth, historic paganism said the same things about christianity when it was on the decline and christianity was on the rise. It's a cyclical relationship.
