secularism may have reduced religious battles that that resulted in Bloodshed on the battlefield but secularism as an outlook for for Western Civilization rationalized violence and made it more efficient and it's been a lot bloodier since they got rid of religion as the organizing principle of life and society and of course that's not even paying any attention to the violence that secularism itself requires right which is that every single pre-secular or non-secular actor in space is the legitimate Target of that correct violence the civilizing violence the secularizing violence whether it's Afghanistan or Iraq or or anybody
within a particular country that sort of um you know runs a foul of this way of looking at the world that you've kind of signed yourself up to be a legitimate Target of violence and that's something that can't be left unsaid either
