and thinking hard about this... I disagree vehemently that it belongs in the athiesm group.

I am a practicing Roman Catholic and I've been looking on in horror as Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism are both becoming radicalized. There are many religion reporters who cover left wing politics who also cover this movement, and Q beliefs are deeply entrenched in those communities now, even if they would never say that they follow Q.

It's problematic and something that is being ignored by religious leaders. I speak specifically to the Roman Catholic World, as I am active in it. I've written to my bishops (DiMarzio and Archbishop/Cardinal Dolan) to address this, but I think they don't want to see that it is a problem that is invading the US Bishops Council.

What happened in the Capitol was White Nationalistic Christianty Prayer. It was horrifying and (in my mind) demonic. And we need to wrestle with it. Because those people exist doesn't mean that Christianity is evil. But what happened on 01/06 was evil. and wrong and we should condemn it. Those prayers were sick.
