Except OP's slave. She's no hypocrite.

Or they assume they will if they don't do it first. "Enslave or be enslaved" kind of thing.

Especially in the ancient world, tribal societies, etc I can imagine this attitude being pretty widespread - possibly to the point where it's not really remarked upon, the same way we build horrific weapons all the time today.

Thank you for the feedback! I've noticed some concerns about this before so just yesterday I initiated a project to smooth out caravan mechanics.

Will definitely be taking this feedback into account for that, so thank you for writing it with such detail. This kind of thing is very useful.

"Atheism" is a supercategory like "religion" so it wouldn't make sense to try to find specific ideoligious beliefs for "atheism" and more than it would for "religion".

However, within the vast category of 'atheists' there are many real ideoligions.

They're fuzzier on the edges than traditional religions because they're not formalized this way (usually). But if you just look they're not hard to see.

Nationalists from America or China or many other places, LGBTQ activists and social justice warriors, communists of various stripes, radical feminists, men's rights activists, transhumanists (in the Ray Kurzweil sense), rationalists (as in the rationalsphere), environmentalists and eco-fascists all exist.
