Wild. Growing up through Reagan, I saw the world only act like this.

To me religion isn't Christianity or Islam. It's following orders of arbitrary leaders who give themselves titles via narrative. Priest, Minister, CEO, General... just words.

Provenance such as "this is what I want to do with my life" are poor justification for enabling it.

Religion = doing what your boss told you. Got it, that makes sense why so many people are religious.
