    So I need to ask. Is this what this community is about? I am atheist, and I empathize with your frustrations on the theocracy.

    But these low effort memes and hate posting. I mean come on man. Surley we can do better then this.

    Tbh that's capitalism which sorta extended from religion but is no longer dependent on it, interestingly.

    Wait, are you implying that the entire world population is religious? There are 8 billion, not 7 billion people now.

    In 2018, 84% of people were religious. I have no idea how they reconcile atheism in China either since like 75% of their population has none.
