Religions Are Man Made, Subjective, Irrational & Outdated.
But That Doesn't Mean God Doesn't Exist.
Agnosticism Is The Superposition of Yes vs No Belief.
In one of the largest religion surveys ever conducted, perhaps surprisingly, people who are actively religious are the ones who have the highest confidence in AI right now
Fascinating finding: actively religious Americans may be among the most confident in AI.
They are not standing outside this moment. Many are leaning in and helping shape how these tools serve human flourishing.

"Our nation is not founded on a religion. It's not based on a common culture, even, or heritage. ... We're a creedal nation," Justice Neil Gorsuch tells @nickgillespie on The Reason Interview podcast.
Raised 100% atheist, this astrophysicist came to belief in God through her scientific research. Yea, you heard that right. Here's her story. Link in comments! @DiscoveryCSC@sarahsalviander@TSOEfilm@AMcDiarmid
"Just as we have become a formidable demographic chunk of American society, the very principles of secularism that we cherish, and which serve to protect us, are being undone."

“I see nothing “wrong��� in believing in a God. I don’t think there is a God, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights when it worries me.”
not enough people understand how a majority of the people of the US were Christian in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and still preferred a secular and disestablished government.
Chapter 1 is live. "Why are we not okay?"

There's a joke that says the difference between a cult and a religion is that in the cult, the leader is still alive and profiting from it. Hannity has left a religion to join a cult.
Vance has emerged as the loudest voice for bringing religion — specifically Catholic values — into the public sphere. Except, apparently, when those Catholic values conflict with MAGA doctrine or challenge Trump’s id.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a response to JD Vance's comments about Pope Leo XIV:
'For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’
That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.
When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars'
A Christian Nationalist warning about mingling theology with politics is some pretty brazen hypocrisy, but we can always count on Johnson to dole it out. And, for the record, there is a difference between faith influencing policy and faith becoming policy.
