I remember seeing a clip on an Atheism channel of a young black adult saying he didn’t know “not believing in god” was “an option” growing up

You can imagine- a culture+community where some amount of religious belief is so ubiquitous, that disbelief is completely out of conscious reach reach

So, the point?

You grew up in a milieu where seriously doubting Democracy was *never available to you*

I’m asking people to consciously recognize this, and follow their own thoughts from there

Maybe current Western style Democracy is a monstrously cruel thing to inflict on a People, and that’s the point

That regardless of how you feel about religion, the above describes how  nearly all westerners’ relationship with  Democracy. I’ve spent my life as a blasphemer, and in the West, Democracy is one of our most sacred idols 

“How can you be anti democracy? So you’re for totalitarianism?”
