    This is somehow more offensive to my brain than if they’d simply said “electricity is god”. The way they completely muddy the issue, making the reader not just misinformed but made to feel complacent, like there’s no correct information to be found, is way more grotesque. It shuts down the mind of the reader. It’s anti-education.

      That is the sense of religion and because it is so used by goverments. Ignorant and submisive people are easier to dominate and manipulate.
