You can't squash the religious impulse. If you remove God, it will just manifest in other ways.
In secular religion, there is abundant guilt and atonement, but little love and forgiveness. The rituals of atonement are harsh, sometimes to the point of death. Mercy? You deserve no mercy. The Earth will not take the punishment for your sins as Christ did. You will. You are the sacrifice for the sins of humankind.
If you don't know what this is about: France has already recorded 1,000 excess deaths due to the recent record-breaking heat wave. The use of AC has been politicized in Europe to the point that that most everyone, including vulnerable people, are discouraged from using it even as conditions become intolerable. Why? Because of carbon emissions. Even as China releases 2x more emissions than the entire EU, the EU must sacrifice. You can't convince me this isn't pagan religion without the supernatural.
Roman Catholics love to talk about Protestant “disunity” as if Rome is a seamless marble block of doctrinal uniformity. But that just isn’t true.
There is at least as much theological diversity within Rome’s own communion — among Thomists, Scotists, Molinists, Augustinians, Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits, traditionalists, charismatics, Eastern Catholics, and the various churches in communion with Rome — as there is among the major Protestant confessional streams.
And here’s the part Catholics on X often ignore: orthodox Protestants are not united by a pope, but we are united by a common supreme authority — the written Word of God. We disagree on important secondary matters. But we confess the Triune God. We confess the deity and humanity of Christ. We confess His death, burial, resurrection, and return. We confess salvation by grace through faith in Christ. We confess that Christians must be baptized and that the Lord’s Supper was ordained by Christ for His church.
So spare me the tired argument that Protestantism is nothing but chaos. Roman Catholics highlight Protestant disagreements because it helps their polemic. But in doing so, they often reveal how little they understand what actually unites confessional Protestants.
It’s true that we are not united by an earthly monarch. However, we are united by Scripture, the gospel, and the risen Christ.
Amy Coney Barrett claiming that “Election Day” doesn’t actually mean Election Day is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard from a Supreme Court Justice. I’d expect that crap from Ketanji Brown Jackson, not from her.

@LauraLoomer@JoelWebbon Tucker hates Jews so much that he wants Israel-supporting GOP to lose. He's trying to convince Jew-hating Catholics not to continue voting Republican.
