Watch: Unbeliever Joe Rogan Says What Many Pastors Won't - 'Woke' Is Replacing God in Our Own Churches
Popular podcaster Joe Rogan opined on his show last week that the secular left has replaced God with wokeness, including inside the church.
Speaking with fellow podcaster Francis Foster, Rogan began his remarks by saying that he believes the left is “more loony” than the right because of its secularist belief system.
“I have a theory about why the left is so much more loony,” he said. “I think it’s because the left is secular, almost universally.”
“When you think about the left, you generally don’t think about, like, Christianity or any religion, really,” he continued. “It’s more of like a science-based, like, ‘we’re too smart for that thing.'”
The problem with this belief system, Rogan alleged, is that it lacks, one, rules and structure like, as an example, the Ten Commandments, and two, the humility that he believes comes from following these sorts of rules.
“I think they’re just … lost. There’s no moral scaffolding to hold on to,” he said. “I’m not saying, you know, religion is 100 percent great, but what I am saying is there’s something about having a structure like [the] Ten Commandments … where there’s rules to abide by.
“There’s a higher power, and then you worship, and in worshipping, there’s a humility to that, and a humbleness to that,” he added.

Tying wokeness into the discussion, Rogan then argued that many individuals on the left have not only replaced religion with it, but are now trying to actively hijack religion by injecting wokeness into it as well.
“Another thing that’s interesting with the religious thing when it comes to the left is there’s been this larger than normal presence of these, like, LGBT pastors and these people that are promoting a very different Christianity,” he said, according to Fox News.
“They’re talking about things that, you know, biblical scholars are like, ‘Hey, wait, what page is this on? What? Where does it say abortion’s OK? Like, how are you getting to that? Where does it say God’s non-binary?'” he added.
Texas Democratic Sen.-elect James Talarico famously suggested God is non-binary during a Texas state House floor debate in 2021.
Texas Republicans have passed their anti-trans bill.
Over and over Christians used scripture to justify bullying trans kids.
I told them in my faith, God is non-binary. #txlege https://t.co/6Z5jk5v5nW

Talarico also once alleged that “God is not Christian.”
“You know, there’s a lot of this weirdness — that this woke weirdness that sort of entered into religion and some pastors are doing it,” Rogan continued. “And you go, ‘OK, is that good?’
“I don’t know if that’s good, because you’re not following the original stuff,” he added.
Bishop Robert Barron, the founder of the global Catholic media organization Word on Fire and a bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, told Fox News that he agreed with Rogan.
“For the past several decades, various forms of liberal Christianity have compromised the doctrinal content of the faith, first turning the great dogmas into vague symbols and subsequently evacuating them completely in favor of the progressive political agenda,” he said.
“The test is whether someone can honestly and with enthusiasm subscribe to the Apostles’ Creed,” he added. “Does he believe in God, in the divinity of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the objective truth of the Resurrection? If not, he is using classical Christianity as a smokescreen.”
