>the latest flavor of puritanical outrage

For some time I have been searching for ways to express how the worst characteristics of religion people give for leaving persist widely with nonbelievers. This expresses it nicely.

Oh man, I think what you're trying to say is: You're trying to figure out how the worst characteristics of religious people also exist in nonbelievers. Is that right?

There will always be people who have varying amounts of commitment to their inherited and / or adopted value systems.

For example: I'm pretty gung ho about surfing. I'm all for property rights but turning beaches into private property... well now, shut the front door!

"Moral panic" is probably the term you want.
