It's because your euphoria perfectly belongs on r/atheism where you can circlejerk with the other atheists about how enlightened and smart you are compared to all the idiots who believe in the fly spaghetti monster.
The issue here, is that I don't actually care for calling anyone who believes in religion an idiot, rather instead they are victims of an institution which as a whole is an abuser's fantasy when it comes to finding, grooming, and having their way with, their victims.
It used to be necessary, and in some cases, it still is. But when an institution like that can get a sane person to be convinced that a magic crust of bread or a donation to someone who in reality does not care about them in the slightest will somehow cure their sorrows, then the things that institution has become is the stuff of nightmares, not of hope.
I genuinely see the merit in religion (people sometimes need magical thinking to heal from intense trauma), but the bullshit religion being thrown around by Trump's sycophants is the worst possible kind: worship of someone because "god said so".
That magnifies the greatest toxins of religion, whilst stripping it of any real good, as people's source of "healing" is a man that will betray them in the end. When Trump finally shows his ass in a way that gets him thrown in prison, and he will, everyone that misguidedly worshiped him will be devastated, as the lie they wrapped around themselves crashes down.
And after that, they'll get angry,
very angry. And all it will take is a single voice that sounds vaguely like Trump's to whip that mass of people into a flash-mob worse than BLM ever could be.
And it really won't matter what they're directing their anger at, they won't even care. Shit will just get destroyed.
Religion is supposed to help, regardless of it's authenticity, but so far, every single major religion I've seen has been twisted and warped into a controlling element in billions of people's lives. And time after time, that fact produces the very problem we have with Trump right now.
You call me a high-horse atheist that likes "dunking on the stupids", but you couldn't be farther from the truth.
I'm just pissed, and worried, because a bona fide cult leader has put himself in the most powerful leadership position on the entire planet.
That scares me. On a Jonestown level kind of scared.
And any reasonable person would also be scared.
