    Totally agree with all that. Life is really fucking hard in the states, just for reasons other than poverty (although also poverty :l) so people are able to accept a lot of bullshit to be a part of community-oriented things like churches. I don't think people really "believe" either, they believe it as a set of social customs moreso than anything else.

      Exactly. It explains the rise of MAGA so well.
