@@dennischallinor8497 Ya, that's a lot of people. Powerful groups have spent, at least, many decades conditioning people that religion is fake and bad, and that morals are completely objective. A nation made up of strong individuals with strong, shared moral foundations make for a very strong nation, which is really hard to collapse and control. While that random journalist you mentioned wasn't religious, Nikola Tesla absolutely was. 'Smartest' man ever??
Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the Sword; He is searching out the hoardings where the stranger's wealth is stored; He hath loosed his fateful lightnings, and with woe and death has scored; His lust is marching on. I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the Eastern dews and damps; I have read his doomful mission by the dim and flaring lamps- His night is marching on. I have read his bandit gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my pretensions, so with you my wrath shall deal; Let the faithless son of Freedom crush the patriot with his heel; Lo, Greed is marching on!" We have legalized the strumpet and are guarding her retreat;* Greed is seeking out commercial souls before his judgement seat; O, be swift, ye clods, to answer him! be jubilant my feet! Our god is marching on! In a sordid slime harmonious Greed was born in yonder ditch, With a longing in his bosom-and for others' goods an itch. As Christ died to make men holy, let men die to make us rich- Our god is marching on.
Mark Twain once said: "If Jesus Christ came back to earth today I don't think he'd be a Christain." How true!!!
Are you saying that the elites corrupt all major institutions once there's power to be found in them?? Noooooo. ;)
@@cavscout888 Like Christopher Hitchens I believe religion is BS.

Just as true in 2022. Only with much more deadly destructive weapons. 😪
