  I’m not saying it’s not used as the basis for many governments, I’m saying it’s not a good one

    again history proves you wrong, how can you be so deliberately stubborn?

      So you’re saying that it actually is a good basis for government? Or are you saying it’s not used? either way, you’re incorrect

        You can only get by in an argument by shoving words in my mouth

  Would you mind sharing with us how that history played out?

    If you take even a few minutes to check you’ll find that most governments older than 300 years were founded on a religious basis, and Rome was a pretty long running empire that was largely based on religion just as one example.

    The modern drive for secularism is an outlier in human history, and according to the way the world looks now, secularism is on the way out.

    I’m not saying I like the direction its going but there are pretty clear warnings that conservative evagelicalism is becoming as culturally foundational as a thing can be in the coming fascist regime.

    You have this smug attitude that stems from your ideological values, and somehow feel saying things like ‘religion bad mmmkay’ is sufficient to turn the world away from the coming regressive religious dark age.

    But it isn’t, and really just makes you look foolish.

    Humans have a hole in their brains in the shape of rituals and shared language that we neglect because ‘religion just the opiate of the masses amirite?’ and now you are seeing the pendulum swing back.

      That was not an answer to my question.
