Religion is a tool and was the first form of government, a proto-government. States are also a tool, do the same shit (resource control) and now that god is capital. Many modern religious folks do more mutual aid in their community than the average terminally online leftist and I don’t blanket blame others for seeking meaning when lives are complicated and messy. People need social safety nets and now churches are fallbacks when states fail in different areas. Be kind to individuals and ruthless to systems. States are just continuing where the schism with religion left off. Religious institutions managed surplus extraction, states took over that function (often incorporating religious legitimation), and now capital operates as the organising logic with its own quasi-sacred justifications. New Atheist attitudes often miss the forest for the trees and function as a reactionary sentiment not grounded in materialism. It treats religion as a causal prime mover rather than as an institution shaped by and serving material interests. I have book reccomendations if you are interested in this.

Lmao the US Government is completing it’s metamorphosis into a shitty ill fated startup.

Their live shows are basically giant jam sessions with their songs mixed in.

I wish the state wasn’t so abused and now full of hate, because it really is a beautiful place.

I’m tired, chat.

You are mistaken. I see your point, I just disagree with it.

They do, you can’t hear it though.
