ThefuzzyFurryComradeChristian Nationalism Has Captured the Republican Party
FistingEnthusiastThe default in 'Murica is to be Christian
I had people assuming that because I’m white and speak English, that I was religious
People would cordially invite me to their churches, like it’s a social event
Religion is everywhere there
It’s bizarre to me, but most yanks are indoctrinated from birth into all sorts of stupid shit
It’s not like that everywhere here but there’s definitely a lot of it.

Definitely not that way in New England. Although if you bring up that you are an atheist, some people do seem a little nonplussed.

Uh, what? Try as I might, I cannot make sense of this statement. The implication being: other races or cultures are not religious? Precisely the opposite of what’s closer to truth.
They assumed that I was a part of their particular cult
I’m American. People who assume my religion are weirdos and I rarely interact with someone like that. I’m pretty sure your assertion about it being related to your race is just a random ass assumption.
Depends what part of the country of they were in.
In the north east, there aren’t many mega churches, and the small old churches are often pretty empty or have closed. But down in the Bible Belt, Texas lower Midwest, it’s fucking different and very prominent and very culty.
On the coasts it looks more like granola churches for networking and much more humanist/unitarian. There are still Lutheran, Catholic and Baptist churches around, but not like the south.
watch a doco called “god forbid”
it’s been a 40ish year long corruption
i just wonder what will happen when this regime crumbles now they’ve had a taste of real power
Oh, I’m old
I’ve been watching it happen
It’s genius, unfortunately
Very carefully and successfully engineered
The civilised world has always sneered at 'Murica, with good reason
It was born of cruelty, ignorance and hate. It has never changed, but the PR campaign got better.
I wasn’t
I was lucky enough to be born in a country where the poison of religion doesn’t have the same stranglehold
That’s good and very fortunate.
Some of us had to mask for a bit but ultimately, even the people that “believe” still do everything they can to ‘circumvent’ god.
It’s insanity.
Um you know African Americans and Latinos are also Christian…
So yeah it’s not that.
RonnyZittledongI am an American. I am very not religious and not conservative. I love my family but when the conversation veers from the weather or other such mundane things I feel very very lonely.
