I’m not religious but I’m a massive Trump and Q follower. I see lots Christians on the board, any other atheists around here?
How do you view the religious factor in the Q movement?

I was baptized 20 years ago yesterday. grew up in a church many would consider a cult. I never pushed back when people accused me of being in a cult- for the simple reason that by definition almost every organized religion is in fact a cult. if the unspoken standard for whether an organization is a cult or not is based on whether or not the beliefs and principles held are true, you can never have a productive conversation between groups.
the last year has taught me a lot about bigotry (referring to my own, not others). I have learned that I cultivate seeds of bigotry in myself when I demote someone's intentions, competency or understanding based on the group they are in. like mormons, scientologists, catholics, freemasons, atheists, liberals (even the bs atheist "satanists" lol) etc. there is a consistent theme I see pop up in even the worst of these groups- a very small percentage is in the know of the structural intentions, while being hooked by the actually true principles being distorted to manipulate consent.
I was manipulated into consenting to practices I do not actually believe in and the tool that was used against me was the holy bible, prayer, peer pressure and fear. I left that church 10 years ago- I did not leave God, my faith, or my naive belief that Jesus actually lived and really is Christ (I say naive because I still don't understand how or why I believe it, other than that it is simply true that I do). what I am trying to cultivate now is the same love God has for each of these people, regardless of their decisions.
it is ok to hate evil. it is ok to name it. it is ok to defy it and side with righteousness, but my belief is that this war is spiritual and against dark forces and principalities. the other side is not human. so if i'm speaking to a human, understanding that I am the same, and any understanding of God and light that I hold is a gift freely given to me, that I will hit a lot closer to the mark if I remain grateful. gratitude is a silent nuke we all have access to. the only thing like advice I have is use gratitude.
and in that light, I am very thankful for the person who posted this and commend the vulnerability and humility it took to write it.
