I simply cannot believe that in the United States of America...

54. You are right (correct)

I lived in Salt Lake City for a short period, and nowhere is it so true as there..........

And as you said, it is an indoctrination, from the time a child is born.............

True Story: One of my employees there was raised in the Mormon Church......When he got to college, he started thinking for himself and told the Mormon Church he wanted out......no matter how hard he tried, they wouldn't leave him alone.
So, he wrote a college paper, exposing how the brainwashing techniques used by the North Koreans, who brainwashed our GI Pow's, were very close to the techniques he was exposed to in the mormon church........That did it, they finally "ex-communicated"??? him from the LDS community......LOL I read his term paper, and it was incredibly accurate and shocking.........

And I feel that is why Republicans and Trump went after the Fanatical Religious and Evangelicals.......they were looking for a massive crowd that was already indoctrinated to be "followers" despite reality......All unable to be able to think critically......they figured if these people could already whole heartedly believe in an "imaginary companion", they were all perfect for the Republican Party to use for their political doctrines.

Don't get me wrong, not all religious people fit this generalization, and are indeed religious....(Think Jimmy Carter for example)
