Re: Religion Thread: We Could Say a Prayer
The other thing that's changed is participation.
50 or 100 years ago, everyone belonged to one of the cults. Those very few that didn't (essentially a cult themselves) were so few in number that they dared not speak their minds about what they considered the sinister aspects of religion. It didn't stop the cults from going after other cults, though.
As more people opted out of joining the cults, the outsiders became braver. Safety in numbers, as they say.
100 years ago you would have never spoken the words about organized religion that you post on here, even if you knew everything then that you know now. The possible backlash against you would prevent you from doing so.
