When I was young like many of you, I felt hatred towards religion and I was also an innocent idiot who swallowed the farce of communism, today despite not being a believer, or not being a believer at least in a conventional way, I understand the difference between religion as a culture and identity, and the institutions that take over religion like the Catholic church.

Religious institutions are not very different from government, in fact, they live side by side with it, like large corporations.

But religion as a culture is something else, which in my view has to be respected whatever the religion. Belief is very powerful, belief can move mountains, the Bitcoin community has many similarities with a religion, do not underestimate the power of faith.

And in my opinion, if Jesus Christ existed today, it would be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Couldn't agree with you more! Spent years in the institution of religion which is oppressive like any institution which feels they have the right to make decisions for you.

Autonomy is the antithesis of governments and religions, I think Jesus was the first cypherpunk to point this out. He even mentioned crypto when speaking to the money changers at the temple (yes shitcoins existed then too). Anyone who stands for radical individual freedom like Jesus is a friend of mine.
