which ( meaning religion), in my view, is simply the watered down, ignorant version of very old and true psychological, 'scientific' teachings. But that is another topic.
The avoidance of casting pearls before swine, coupled with the stupid, ignorant, lazy, simplistic minds of the masses.

And conservative religion is even worse !

people like pence, barr and, I would bet, many if not most of trump's cabinet, advisers, etc belongs in the latter group...

this is a rapidly metastasizing deadly cancer..
