Leo from actualized.org said [paraphrasing]: what do Hitler, Stalin, other dictators, racists, etc. have in common? They all used reason to justify themselves, not only to others, but to themselves. According to Leo, reason is nothing more than the Egoic mind working as a lawyer on behalf of the selfish self. He continues, saying, first there are emotions (which was backed by a scientific article I read), *then* reason comes up with justifications.
This is why, like Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson's churchgoer said, many intellectuals explode with rage when remotely challenged. What happened to being rational? Leo said beware of anyone who claims to be totally governed by reason, as there are probably skeletons in their closet.
Take Objectivism or other dogmas that claim that everyone is a selfish "wolf." Someone wants to be selfish due to resentment. Maybe they were hurt in the past and can't move on. So now they have polarized into "rational" self-interest. Enter Satanism, the religion of The Ruling Elite.
Or, more commonly, there's hedonism. Someone wants to be over-s**ual, drunk, and have fun, equating that with happiness. Next thing you know, they worship science as dogma. Not sure where they get their morals from, but I have found that hedonism is also conducive to being very impetuous and anger-prone. But they wouldn't murder their mother, so I guess that's okay.
How far down the rabbit hole will atheism go?
Hedonism-->Atheism--->Satanism--->Social Darwinism--->Nazism
Atheism--->Hedonism--->Leftism--->Communism--->Antinatalism
No telling what this world is coming to. Heaven help.
