  I’m sure there have been plenty of times you have comfortably trusted a religious person with responsibility because most people are religious.

    Most people are not religious - news.gallup.com/…/identify-religious-spiritual.as…

    “nearly half” is not “most”.

      That’s if you’re including “spiritual” as non-religious.

      Only 18% of people in that poll were described as neither (Atheist).

        I believe he was getting at religion as the problem, not spirituality. If you look at the BITE model, which is used to determine if a group displays cult like behavior, both flat earthers and many religions fall into the category of cults. Spirituality does not, as it is not organized.

      You’re going to nit pick spiritual vs religious? If we’re being pedantic, you’re citing us population, the world is much different. Also even if we accept it’s only about half, my point still stands.

        I think spiritual vs religious can be an important difference. Generally speaking it’s organized religions that are causing major harm not the individuals who believe their is something beyond our physical reality.
