"'What could go wrong?' Robert P. Jones, CEO of the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, sarcastically asks."

Jones tells Anne Thompson (link is below),

“The challenge, of course, is that we have no idea what’s under the hood, what’s creating the reality that they present.”

Russell Contreras and Isaac Avilucea report on how churches are now using AI to reach more people:

"New AI-powered apps allow you to 'text with Jesus' or 'talk to the Bible,' giving the impression you are communicating with a deity or angel.

Other apps can create personalized prayers, let you confess your sins or offer religious advice on life's decisions."

So, the Pope listed The Sound of Music among his favorite films.
Someone should probably tell him that in the scene where the nuns teach the young woman to "Climb every mountain", ideologically they are basically saying "Girl, you're WAY too horny to be a nun; why don't you go bang some rich guy?"

"The United States has experienced one of the largest declines in religiosity globally over the past decade, new research shows.

There has been a 17-percent drop in in the number of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life between 2015, when it was 66 percent, and 2025, when it is 49 percent, according to recent Gallup polls."

I don't have the headspace to say everything I want to say about this book, about Christian fundamentalism, etc. I will say that if you know a woman who is trapped in this shit- just let her know subtly that you're there when she's ready. Don't abandon her, please. And remind her of how smart and capable she is. She needs you. Even if she doesn't know it yet.
