We didn’t choose the battlefield, they did! Old post by an anon on the boards pertaining to the religious aspect of Q references. I thought it useful.

Seconded. Prayer is the way.
"The Church" is the state. Jesus lives within us and we ourselves make the walls that protect our souls. And the walls of us all make God's cathedral when we gather together.
Go to church if you want. Maybe even if you don't want. It's good for you.
But pray alone also. Your religion isn't yours if you rely on fallible humans to tell you what to pray about and how to read the truth.
I haven't gone to church in ten years and probably won't ever again. I have my reasons I'm not going to tell my awful stories about it because it's not productive to those who might want to hear it generally.
But I've also seen many, many people of all political orientations begin to wake up, only to SPIRAL INTO INSANITY as truly waking up requires you to constantly awaken to the world.
Church or no church, without prayer you shoot your wad, shoot your nasty truth into everyone's face, and then have nothing to show for it.
Without prayer you're basically an intellectual slut dealing tricks to get a rush from solving a puzzle.
Ain't gonna end well.
Jesus taught a lot about the Church and in fact did not anticipate an ongoing movement/dispersement of his teaching without a Church. In the Greek his teachings often addressed "you" in the plural for one thing, and secondly much of his ethical teachings had exactly to do with how his followers would treat one another and practice their faith together.
So no, church is not an option. It's assumed. If you're talking about the Jesus of the New Testament, of course.
Even prayer is not completely individual. The ONE time Jesus was asked to teach how to pray, he begins with "OUR Father". A community of faith, not individual isolated spirit warriors or whatever you're getting at.
...without prayer you shoot your wad, shoot your nasty truth into everyone's face, and then have nothing to show for it.
Yeah, I think there are time and place for sensitivity. I'm not gonna rant about the vaccine and ventilators at a funeral for someone who died of (with) COVID. Not appropriate.
But here? This is literally the place to spill unhappy truths.
Prayer is just a rebranding of focused attention. Directed meditation. Manifestation. Whatever you want to call it.
It's been rebranded as a way to subvert true knowledge of how reality works. By placing people into a prayer paradigm, they tend to fall into the framework of one of the major religions. This then limits their perception about what's possible.
As we know and have seen repeatedly, the first step in deception is simply withholding truth. Only once you remove the fundamental building blocks are you able to create a new house of lies.
So yeah, I agree, the concept of prayer, in the sense of directed focus toward "positive" objects and emotions is an important discipline.
But let's not act like puzzle solving is empty or somehow less important. That's literally why Q brought people like us together in the first place. To solve puzzles that nobody normal wants to know the answer to.
