I crowdsourced the task of finding a word to describe the political and social order that is leading us to doom, in a way that explains the fundamental driving forces, explains why the left always wins. Hwan Lewi: How about ‘atheocracy’? It should be instantly recognizable as derivative of ‘theocracy’ and thus retain most of the descriptive and shock value, and it gets around the deism/non-deism issue. From now on, …

The word “theocracyâ€
