These characteristics can exist independently of each other and usually do - but can definitely merge as one if the inflicted is using low level analysis (which can still be "true" on that level of analysis) to reach their philosophical conclusions. A lot of modern day narcissism is socially/ideologically-induced and not necessarily inculcated into somebody during their childhood by shit parenting or even dictated by genetics (narcissism has a genetic variance of .5). An example of low level analysis is:
- God cannot be empirically detected therefore I am an atheist (assumes God exists independent of the mind because other low level thinkers such as the average Christian or the average Muslim claims this to be the case - so the atheist responds to low level analysis with their own form of low level analysis).
This victory enables the average atheist to feel intellectually (and morally) superior to the average theist - when in fact, all they've done is told a toddler that 5+5 is 10 and not 55.

Health is my number 1 priority because I have latent mental issues and if I fall off the wagon with sugar and carbs I will feel like absolute shit. I also have some sort of LSD-induced OCD about storing/holding body fat and find it disgusting. I'm always on a calorie maintenance but essentially on keto and exercise every other day. I'm vain and groom myself even if I'm not going out because I'm insecure about my looks even though I'm a 9/10

I think the real question is does collective atheism (regardless of its epistemological validity) inevitably lead a population into a certain type of cultural and political consciousness? Atheism is one of the main precursors (if not the main precursor) to some of the most cancerous and pernicious ideologies (communism, postmodernism, feminism, PC culture, SJWism, etc). Good job on making this site work decently on mobile btw Lanny
