Man, don’t you just hate it when evangelicals need to make every fucking conversation about religion?

Remember that most Christians have been such their entire lives. This programming is deep, and more strongly cemented than their critical thinking skills.
I suggest backdooring in critical thinking skills. When helping do deprogram my ex-in-laws we did weekly brain teasers and logic puzzles before our dinners, and after we’d play investigative board games.
Eventually they left the baptist church, citing they’d been listening closer to what thwjr pastor was saying and it made them uncomfortable. They’re still Christian, but they go to a PCA Church now. Much less hateful congregation and clergymen (are they still clergy if they aren’t Catholic?).
Its all about baby-steps. You have to trust people to learn, but you may want to help supporting some of those learning skills.

Yep, it’s a catch-all term. You can also refer to an Imam or Rabbi as a member of that religion’s clergy.

The same applies for Republicans. They have been Republicans all of their lives, watching Fox News since they day they were born.
Also, that kind of programming, religions, outright cults, Fox News, they all focus on discarding critical thinking skills as much as possible. Nowadays, they are targeting empathy, too.

I recommend Nietzsche, sword and fire. It’s all for their eternal souls after all.
