Who believes in God anymore? Certainly, not me. Who believes in damnation? Preachers and their punters. Who needs them?
As Charles Bukowski said, I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard.
Religion is like a ghetto, impoverished.
I didn't put them there.
All humans are collectively guilty, not necessarily individually guilty. That is the SJW way.
Thus, the religious are anti-intellectual, can I help that?
Presumably billions of people believe in the Judeo-Christian god although they disagree a lot about what that god is like. Belief in damnation is also very popular. As for preachers, they have created a need for their "services." Many people think they need the clergy to "help them with their spiritual needs." Although religious belief is on the decline in developed countries, it is still very popular.
