re: #394 Dopamine Fish

Yes, but there are a lot more of those than the ones going the other direction. Obviously - since we’ve had this conversation before - I’m a Christian, and I wish that wasn’t the case. But that’s reality, because modern day evangelical Christianity, at least as preached in the United States, is a crazy-ass death cult.

It would be hard to count (maybe impossible), but it would seem there have always been non-believers in the USA (just as there were in the Middle Ages).

Like LGBT+, it is safer to say so (in some parts of the USA) now. The same goes for the rise and levelling off of the divorce rate (it would have happened anyway but conservative laws making divorce difficult or impossible prevented people from divorce).
