I have always found it rather curious just how fundamentally arrogant believers tend to be. Note the way that they capitalize the word "God", which presumably is in reference to Yahweh/Allah/Jehovah, but just assume that the reader is from the Abrahamic strain of belief and just accept this conceit as a normal. Man has had many gods and goddesses over the course of history, but a certain kind of person can just write "God" and it is just accepted that this capitalization means one of those many gods: the Abrahamic one.
But even more so, especially as time goes on and more and more nonbelievers are in this country, the absolute arrogance of assuming the entire audience is even in a faith tradition is really quite something.
Those that say they are religiously unaffiliated are now at 28%.

I'm 100% with you on this one.
We're just supposed to ignore the politics going on in the world right now? Ignore the shittery being foisted upon us by the Shitgibbon and his merry band of miscreants, all pushed on us by the Kims and the Xis and the Putins of the world. And one of those miscreants is that racist old uncle whose idea is to shit on brown people for all the things that are actually being visited on us by billionaires, then throw a temper tantrum when we call him out on his bullshit? And I'm just supposed to put up with that? No thank you. I'll hang out with the part of the family that is NOT a racist, nativist asshole, thank you very much.
