Politics really is a substitute for religion in America
- leosanchez 6mo agoReligious people can be anti-AI too.
- kelnos 6mo agoIn secular America at least. Most people in the US are religious, many of them fervently so. And quite a few of them like to mix their religion with politics.
- misiti3780 6mo agothis is true, but thankfully, religion is declining in America. although if people are replacing it with politics, maybe we need another revival
- elephanlemon 6mo agoFrankly I think a lot of these people are politics first. How else do you explain the dissonance between Jesus’s teachings and their political opinions?
- MiguelX413 6mo agoTheir politics are perfectly in line with their Christian-themed cult.
- lazyasciiart 6mo agoYes but when they’re not, they choose politics. See: Catholics right now.

- MontyCarloHall 6mo agoIndeed, but the rage I've seen during political fights at family gatherings (and another politics-induced divorce) pales in comparison to the rage I saw in these two anecdotes. The worst political debates I've seen involved raised voices and some name calling, not spitting food and smashing plates. The only other political divorce I've seen slowly simmered over a few years after Trump was first elected, not in a literal matter of weeks.
- mvdtnz 6mo agoAmerica has no lack of religion.
