Yup. The agenda of Progressive government is to establish beliefs to which everyone will ascribe. A collective society must have uniform beliefs or it will splinter. Outdated principles such as individual rights or freedom of association create animosities and dissentions, or even worse, allow offensive speech. If we are to have such a thing as the First Amendment, it should prescribe a uniform code of speech. As well, if the government is to tolerate freedom of religion, there must also be a uniform code of religious beliefs. Beliefs that deviate from normally accepted science, however, should be gradually made moribund. Any notion of a higher existence than society is not truly acceptable. Any devotion to an elite entity should be directed toward a fidelity to collective society and to the rules and regulations of experts that know what is best for universal happiness.
