    nearly half of Gen Z adults surveyed agreed with the statement that agree with the statement “Christians’ support of Trump has made me less likely to go to church.”

    So a majority of gen z are still going to churches and are perfectly fine with Christians supporting Trump.

    But I guess for the US that is probably still impressive figures.

    Christianity will never recover from its association with MAGA.

    Non-religious people used to just raise their kids to ignore religion, because religion still seemed to be a positive force in the world.

    But today they are raising their kids to be hostile toward religion, and religious people, because MAGA has perverted religion into some sick Cult of Intolerance, and they not only don’t want it anywhere near their children, they’re thinking it is something remove from society. That won’t happen, but we can marginalize it and its deluded followers as much as possible, and keep them out of government. Being religious should be self-disqualifying. Proudly declaring yourself a Christian should be equal to proclaiming that you are a Pedophile, and instantly end your political ambitions.

      Perverted or exposed? 😉 Sure is a lot of condoned genocide and smiting of heathens in that book.

    Trump is just the latest in a long line of hypocrisy the modern church is built on. Their ‘sins’ are endless and on full display in Trump’s America.

    The problem isn’t spirituality, it’s industrialized religion that uses ancient teachings of natural law as way to control people. They separate each of us from God/Light/UniversalEssence by claiming to be the bridge to it.

      The problem is people making shit up. There is no evidence, argument, or reason suggesting the existence of any god. It is backwards, wishful thinking and very harmful.

      Magic isn’t real, nor are spirits and souls. Reality is endlessly fascinating, please do not obscure it. People are dying because the average human thinks it’s okay to treat assumptions like facts. Accountability is impossible when you’ve normalized delusion.
