A form of scientific or atheist bigotry where the label “quackery” is weaponized against any practice, belief, or person that falls outside strict biomedical or scientific materialism—regardless of evidence, cultural context, or harm. The anti‑quackery bigot dismisses herbalism, traditional medicine, energy healing, and even mindfulness as “quackery,” often without examining specific claims. This bigotry refuses to distinguish between genuinely dangerous fraud and culturally rooted, low‑risk practices. It uses the stigma of “quack” to silence, humiliate, and exclude, while positioning itself as defender of science.
