So, according to you, blatant rudeness, aggression, and malice are normal?
The fact that this uncouth, unmannered boor insults all people who, in one way or another, believe in God, in a Higher Power – smears them with dirt, mixes them with excrement – for no reason whatsoever – is that normal in your opinion?

You are once again slapping labels and turning everything upside down. All that he wrote about the people you are talking about is: "Okay, religion. If someone wants to believe in a cosmic alien Jew, let them continue to believe. But the situation with esotericism is completely different... All the rest in his article can be expressed by a quote from the article itself - "Esotericism is humiliating for an enlightened, sane person." And I specifically agree with:
1. "Moreover, they criminally try to justify their nonsense with scientific methodology: on the Internet you can find thousands of films, supposedly proving the existence of the soul, chakras, subtle bodies, and other nonsense" - by the way, you are doing the same thing;
2. "How can a person in the 21st century seriously believe that his life depends on the name he was given, on a distant planet that began to influence him from the moment he learned about it? Wear amulets, believing that they attract mythical energy? Or sit in a special pose to connect to higher realms?";
3. "How can one think that some shamans and gurus who lived in ancient times could know more about the world and about a person than modern scientists who have split the atom and deciphered the human genome?";
4. "We have come to this. A country that sent the first person into space is sliding into a new Middle Ages.";
5. "Esotericism is a surrogate spirituality. When esotericists say that they are spiritually developed, I want to answer: "No, you are just mentally ill."
6. "Any person who has at least one convolution in his brain understands: to believe that the position of the planets in the sky or the lines on the palm of the hand affects the fate of people is to admit one's own ignorance. Using esoteric nonsense in one's life is as stupid and shameful as believing an adult that Santa Claus exists or that children appear because they are brought by storks."
7. "Will these "spiritual" people build spaceships? Invent a cure for cancer? Create masterpieces of art? Obviously not. Because instead of brains, rotten mush is bubbling under their skulls, in which words like "aura," "astral," "chakras," "karma," "soul," and "spirituality" float like..." - I agree, it was said harshly, but again, it's not about a grandmother in a church.
It would be fine if each person chose their own path and carried their own cross, the problem is that many are forced to follow someone else's path and carry someone else's cross, and that's what these "preachers" are talking about. Then some burn themselves alive with their children, others, again, drag their children into the dugouts they have dug and begin to die there from unsanitary conditions and diseases, others zombify young girls, and then put suicide belts on them and send them to die, instead of them (the girls) giving birth and raising children, one could give many more examples.
