Nice sardonic teenager banter. The answer to your question is no, I was referencing a hip new trend among enlightened atheists such as yourself.
Yeah, why would we still need the mindset of the smug enlightenment age today? Those nerds and fegz have already given us our daily memes, food, wealth and nuclear bombs. Now free independent thought can go fuck itself, and we can keep praising the lord for all he has bestoweth upon us.
The only "trend" here is your superstition, though. There have been rationalist-empiricists, also known as asmurfists, aunicornists, amaninthemoonists, aflyingspaghettimonsterists and sometimes atheists, in every time and place, despite persecution and murder, long before your particular branch of mental disease was invented, and they will still be laughing at it in disbelief long after it has taken its rightful place as a shameful and embarassing error of history. If it hadn't been for Constantine super-christ and your forged document "gifting" scam, your fellow criminal maniacs would have rotted away in some roman caves and nobody would ever have heard of a christian again. You can never wipe out the healthy, natural mind, because we are born with it. But you can wipe out infectious diseases.
I would talk with your type like with adults, but that would mean being rational. And I tried... The most faithful believers suddenly become dilettante skeptics when you try to educate them about observable, reproducible mechanisms in nature and their consequences. And suddenly 110% evidence is not enough, when minus 100% used to be fine. They can even come up with some rudimentary epistemological concepts, and then quickly change strategy, when they realize their memorized phrases only work on kids and morons or under threat of violence. Their main argument is typically "no u" and to go in circles until no sane person can take it anymore. But I guess that's part of your indoctrinated mental disease. The problem, like with many mental diseases, is that the afflicted encourage each other in their insanity, preventing the healing process.
So what can you do against dangerous cults of "chosen ones" that you can't fight with reasoning and education, that are above the law and licensed to spread lies as they please, hateful and discriminating messages, even call for murder, when any other organization would have been banned for it? If you're not religious and don't think that genocide is a desirable solution, then you are only left with "sardonicism". Apparently, all you can do against the madness in this world is to laugh at it
I have found one commendable thing in the bible that doesn't come naturally (unless you think about it): Don't demand interest on loans. And you atavistic ape-brains don't give a shit... where's your protest? You can protest against reality, but not against man-made systematic, exponentially growing injustice, when god wills it?
Since you WANT to believe, no matter what, and the whole "we want to see moar evidence" bullshit is just a distraction anyway, how about I write you a new holy book? You will get eternal afterlife with cake, tidbits and prosecco, classy prostitutes, penthouse apartments, sports cars, stylish sunglasses and hair gel, yakuzis, cocain - everything the modern christian of the 21st century desires! But I will not ask you in return to hate, kill or obey anyone or twist and cover up the truth. Maybe some practical tips on how to avoid being a mindless drone or a materialistic-nihilistic dimwit, a bit like buddhism... Maybe some nice stories from the numerous and dynamic mythologies (rip) of the antiquity on top. Is that a deal or what? Or would you sinner rather nibble at the body of christ and stick a cross up your ass?
I think for my next trick I will sell letters of indulgence for cash. Yeah, that feels right. $$$
Derp.
