Is propaganda replacing religion?
It seems as people leave the religion of their youth, some tend to replace it with something else to believe in. With a religion, there is a “group” feel, and sometimes an “us against them” kind of attitude, similar to sports teams and political parties. Maybe that feeling is addictive?
Lately, it seems to me that some people, looking for something to believe in, are falling for propaganda, and other myth-information on a variety of controversial political and social issues.
I’ve been wondering if maybe it is partly to replicate the “us against them” feeling and surround themselves with the camaraderie of like minded folks?
