The article makes it clear that what he means is that The Government is using Religion to manipulate people into not noticing all the extraterrestrial life that they have access to.

I wouldn't agree with that sentiment.

I have a feeling everyone is missing this crucial bit of context.

Wait, do I actually agree with Aaron Rogers on something?

(Reads AngryCommieKender's clarification.)

Nope, false alarm!

Whoaaa hey hold on, I agree with this completely. The U.S. Government does use religion to coerce and convince millions that their way is the correct way.

It just doesn't involve aliens...yet.

Well...it does, just not the type we're talking about. Cause if you're Right, you're right apparently.

I'm going off the title, I don't care enough about rodgers to read the article, but, now that you say that, I can't say I'm surprised. He's a clown.
