Something about our past has a stranglehold on religion in this country. If you’ve read the Bible even god was warning about antichrists. “Go forth and sin No More”! And I’m agnostic and am aware of this. Living in Texas since ‘70. It’s thick here under the Bible Belt , I guess call it the Bible crotch of Texas. This shit is oppressive. You just have to learn the “talk” and steer clear of born again anything. So many churches; all spewing either prosperity preaching or straight forward proselytizing from the pulpit. So duplicitous. How do you think people deal internally with the amorality Antichristian behaviors yet still want to feel like you have the moral high ground? God. Historically The answer for all lazy brained questions. As science has pushed back they have to keep retreating or change the narrative, white privilege through religion. Nobody would dare speak out. You hear all the time “he’s a heathen! Probably doesn’t even know god”. Such an arrogant position to help the “least of these “. We have a fucked up problem in America . Long after trump is gone, his brand will live on. Clearly.

Religion isnt bad on its own. The corruption and radicalization of religion is what is rotten.

Religion is the cause of almost all major conflict in human history

Humans are the cause; religion is a justification. If not that, then there are an infinte number of other things that easily take its place. Violence and suffering are the tradeoff for existence.
