The majority of American Christians believe that Babyman (Trump) is one of them. And they're probably right. Babyman, like all evangelicals, lives the cozy life of the self-centered, comfortable in the uniquely American doctrine that tells them they need not give to the poor to live a bliss-filled afterlife, and that they need only believe in that the virgin-birthed son of their God existed. Actual reading of the words of Jesus is not required, but if they actually do read his words, they are free to ignore them and still get the all the heavenly benefits.
Meanwhile, more and more independent thinkers are becoming atheists. Small wonder. As more actual knowledge becomes available, the mythical tales that pose as reality they find the ground is firmer with science and common sense. Yet I found they still struggle with the larger picture - what of the future?
If the future is to have a religion at all, it will have to be more accountable to ALL people, not just those with a passion for genuflection.
Just how did major religions once rule the world? One word; Trance.
