This one is particularly good! I am bookmarking it and will likely reference it in future.

Harsh but true: Science “has relativized morality, enabled political collectivism and despotism, justified genocides and experiments on human life, prioritized environmentalism over human liberty and prosperity and mired modern man in a suicidal malaise of meaninglessness, hedonistic distraction and self-mutilation.”

Science was never meant to be a philosophy about life’s meaning, or rather meaninglessness. But that’s what it became. And I’ve never heard an atheist say that without God anything is permitted—it’s too crude to say out loud. But without God there is no sacred, and then we start to permit anything.
