"the old smiting deity" was replaced with a guy in a suit. News for ya, the Christian churches (sfaik as always because I have negative zero interest in religious anything) never endorsed drugs to its followers. FUN is never permitted, and SEX must always be perverted and defiled, apparently.
You learn, if you're lucky, that beliefs are manufactured, thus arbitrary. The idea that you could actually have COLLEGES offering DEGREES in "religious studies" based on ancient garbage ... it has to run across your mind how silly people are willing to be, when the basics of science elude them.
Degrees and Titles and honorifics - and power pyramids. [image of ralph cramden in his coonskin cap.] So you invent a name for people who look at you and declare BULLSHIT: Heresy. And then you murder them.
