RSSTo understand how anti-racism has replaced the Judeo-Christian god, see black Columbia U. prof. J. McWhorter's courageous "Uncle Tom" essay, at

I'm rather surprised that the data shown so weakly supports this claim that "Once God is removed from the picture, so are the limits of the moral structure…." I'd have expected the gap (in the numbers on cheating on spouses, between Atheists and Firm Theists) to be larger than 12% (26.1 to 14.2).
I'd have expected a gap of more like triple, say, of 27 to 9. The fact that over 14% of Firm Theists still cheat, despite the expected restraining power of their beliefs, suggests that this power is overrated, esp since Molyneux is probably right that we "have failed to replace Him with ANYTHING worthy of reverence." Or, to be more precise, we've replaced Him with "Tin Gods" (e.g. paranoia vs. "racism") more worthy of contempt, than of anything approaching reverence.
I must wonder how the survey classified Confucians (and others who aren't really Firm Theists, but who still espouse a venerable moral structure). I'll wager that, if we'd replaced the Judeo-Christian god with, say, the Confucian emphasis on day-to-day consideration for Others, we'd now be in far better shape.
What's so repulsive about the Left's stewing about microaggressions is the selectivity of their approach to them. The Left could care less about microaggressions against Whites (and Yellows?).
As Derb would have it, "Ice People, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your DEFENSIVE stance vs. the SJWs!"
So, I should've referred more to that mag's editors, for them giving him so much leash, more than he'd have gotten at, until recently, NR.
Him being, or not being, Jewish, is less important than that his crucial stuff is published in an utterly Jewish mag.
What saith MacDonald etc., to the fantastic and COURAGEous contributions by "centrist or rightist" Jews toward the erosion of support for the Russia/hacking narrative, e.g. by G. Greenwald, and by Tablet Mag's Lee Smith, see e.g. http://www.tabletmag.com/JEWish-news-and-politics/229062/did-the-obama-administrations-ABUSE-of-foreign-intelligence-collection-start-before-TRUMP ?
Critiquing THAT narrative is an utterly crucial step, in any attempt to restore some semblance of sanity, to debate in the U.S. on matters of public import. (See e.g. https://theconservativeTREEHOUSE.com/2017/01/12/glenn-GREENWALD-discusses-the-deep-state-with-tucker-carlson/ . The Treehouse has been all over this Russia story, and the increasing evidence that the Deep State tried to FRAME Trump.)
Well said, Jig. And, "more evidence that they do what's good for Jews", while (millions of Gentile) SJWs can't bring themselves to do what's good for themselves.
Sounds like the numbers show that these Jews can look more rationally at their (personal) interests than can almost all groups, save for Repubs and Righties. Such conduct ought to be respected, not suspected, by Repubs and Righties. Alas, there are those who'd rather lash out at scapegoats, than think about how to build strong coalitions. I'm with Whiskey etc., who charge that URBAN single (and meal-ticket married) women set the tone, to which most URBAN (and "educated") men kowtow, Jews no more than Gentiles! (The number of rural Jews must be minuscule.)
