Fr. Modern day christianity and religious institutions in the US are essentially the most efficient distribution network of reactionary ideology (outside of facebook) but because some goobers were annoying on reddit in 2012 it somehow made atheists/agnostics the weird ones and not grown adults believing in glorified Harry Potter.

Religious belief and church attendance is dying regardless of petty internet fights and its an objectively good thing unless your politics are stuck in the 60's where churches are community spaces w/ revolutionary baptist preachers and not just hotbeds for ski-doo owning chuds trying to feel better about themselves for cheating on their wives with the manager at their car dealership. Tax the $50 billion churches pull in annually and retrofit 90% of the 300,000 churches into homeless shelters, hospitals, and community centers for people.

The people who are sympathetic to leftist causes and ripe for radicalization are the people who are leaving the church in droves - not the opposite.

Pardon my fedora.
