A group of atheist professors in a recent panel discussion at Portland State University agreed that the social justice concept of “intersectionality” functions more like a religion than anything else, including containing its own version of original sin, its emphasis on moral/ideological purity, conversion, its belief in something like pure evil, and its vision of a utopian future.
The discussion, hosted by the College Republicans and Turning Point USA, featured three panel members, James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian. In his introduction to the event, Boghossian, a philosopher and outspoken atheist, stressed the “irony” that a group of atheists were being hosted by “the most conservative groups on campus.”
