    The most baffling thing is once subjugated peoples now being the most ardent in their beliefs.

      Thankfully this is changing with the new generation. Atheism is on the rise throughout Latin America. From 1996 to 2019 it went from 4% to 16%. I’ve been back to my birth country recently and it was like a whole other place from when I left in the 90s. The fact that so many young people have tattoos now, when growing up that was completely unacceptable.

    I never understood the disdain for sun worshipping religions. Seems just as valid as any other.
