Dogma

Most secular and progressive people are inherently resistant to any established belief system due to the fact that once you establish one it becomes dogma. And once you have dogma you have hierarchy, resistance to change, and the truth leaves you behind. This is understandable, but it puts them at quite a disadvantage when it comes to appealing to those who are seeking out a belief system and don't really want to have to figure everything out for themselves.

metaculture avoids this issue by making science and the scientific method at the core of that dogma. This means that the only dogma is that there is no dogma. That is something that progressives can believe in and say that they stand for, because it will always be true.
