Good big picture rant. America is a murder cult that demands human sacrifice. That’s our real religion. Organized religion is a shibboleth meant to comfort the victim’s survivors.

Your closing sentence is the eloquence of human existence even though I would note that it is not a binary east versus west phenomenon but I do understand the nature of your article. Very well writ.

Thanks, for a great write up. Capitalism can't survive without liberalism that contain equality for everyone, and a government that works for people. The question is how to make greed and hyper individualism unpopular, and reach a point of WE where we all make it better for all.

While most of our founders were christian our nation was specifically founded to be secular. Religion was government in our early colonial period and the founders wanted no part of that. Our current christian nationalists are just using religion to acquire power. They are not true christians, they do not follow the teaching of Christ.

Unfortunately those christian jingoistic bullies have too much influence and like to superimpose their truth on the whole world. Any idea how to change this in a non violent way?
