I do remain... a little surprised by the legitimate religious fervor of TRAs. It's my assumption that secularism is still relatively new as a widespread thing. Even in democracies that claim to be secular at their core - like the United States - it has remained a decidedly Christian and Christian influenced area of the world. And I feel like current polarization probably has something to do with a secular component of the population solidifying to have its own religion-like moral code (thus creating the possibility of blasphemy). So whereas before you had one religion surrounded by some percentage of non-religious participants not particularly concerned so long as they could go about their own individual business, now you have two religions that seemingly have ties to considerable power and influence that are opposed on many things... one of which being how they want to go about harvesting women to maintain their way of life. So the result is me and those who share my opinions kind of feeling like this is some monkey in the middle game where obviously we have our stances but lack the religious fervor that seems like the only way to get listened to anywhere.
