    It doesn’t. No one ever alters their life or actions due to someone else’s lofty pronouncements and virtue signaling. The argument is valid but the method is self serving and the message is clear. “We have no desire to change hearts and minds but to increase social standing within our in-group by demonizing those outside of it.” Be a vegan no is stopping you. But using these methods to “promote” it is unhealthy cult behavior.

      How is it self-serving when we’re arguing for the better treatment of the animals? That sounds like projection.

      Yes, people who are atheists and follow science to a tee are in a cult 🤪
