    Indeed.

    Not that it’s my field, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this has a lot to do with the human propensity to fall for religion.

    Many humans actually have genetic traits that make them more likely to become religious [citation needed].

    I suspect religion is interchangeable.

    I recall a research case a decade or so back, where they took a huge Apple fan and showed him Apple logos and products while doing an MRI or something and his brain lit up the same way a religious persons brain would when you show them religious iconography, like a cross.

    Some people are simply followers, doesn’t matter what.

    Some people like to exploit that, such as Trump and Joe Rogan. Surprised they’re not peddling NFT’s and Crypto.

      “Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable …”
