      What? America is the superpower... what happens there affects everywhere else. Especially if simultaneously everyone figured out they were being lied too. I think we'd see some big changes around the world, don't you?

      That's the thing though... you can't change someone who has devoute faith because they choose not to hear you or acknowledge you, or they take your attempts at revealing a truth to them as an attack on them personally and fight back refusing anything you say because for them it is personal... Faith is second strongest only to willpower

Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      Cuz the religious beliefs of Americans play a vital part in my day to day life.

      Let's think this through.

      150 million Americans (approximately) claim to be Christian. 150 million Americans realize they've been lied to ever since they've been children so a handful of men can benefit from their conformity.

      I think it's a fairly agreeable thing to say if this religious indoctrination went away, scientific curiosity would go up. Average IQ of the superpower of the world would go up. Average amount of scientists would go up. More technology being created, more people realizing their connection with nature, less religious hatred, less war.....

      I would say religious belief of the American masses do affect you. At least indirectly. Is it total absurdity to say this?
