This is interesting yet not really intellectually honest. It’s a cool word and many love the historical curiosities as such.
Once upon a time Christianity was a minority of counter culturalists (“heretics” of their day) then came the popularizations (over 1,000 years). And then these were the MAJORITY (not a minority). At this time the apparatus of power inherited the mantle of Christian identity (popes, pope emperors, warrior popes, etc.) in this time, Christians mass murdered other Christians over the technical details of their beliefs (reformation). A dark time for everyone. Today, many Christians feel a threatened minority (maybe a self imposed passive aggressive attitude.)
In art, A Brave New World depicts a form of neo-liberalism as casting once conventional values as “heretical.”
Beware the changing tides of times for they conceal the dangerous shoals of unforgiving reefs.
Today I am a heretic of convention proclaiming everything you know about the mind is a lie, that the voices in your head are disembodied others, and you are thought controlled!
