Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, that's not my point. My point is that the statement "religious fucks have held us back for millennia" is nonsensical because before the last three hundred years or so everyone was a "religious fuck."

Do you... do you think religious people don't function in their daily lives?
Generally places with weak economies and robust public higher education tend to have large numbers of educated professionals because it's a good way to GTFO.
do they even exist?
Unfortunately, yes. There's no ethnic, religious or otherwise group without two digit percent Republican support.
When Trump inevitably dies, all of these trumpers will talk about how they didn't like him and thought he was a tyrant.
Presumably it's a "women and children" kind of thing. The victim being a (presumably) respectable member of the local community adds some emotional oomph to something that is already bad, though Lemmy is way to anticlerical for this sort of thing to be effective.

Man it sucks so hard that humans have been held back by religious fucks such as checks notes Isaac Newton.

Sigh please change, Lemmy.
PS: That's literally not what "mental disease" means.
People are stubborn and will survive most anything you throw at them, but it won't be pretty. Optimistically you're looking at something similar to Argentina.
Most people on earth go day-to-day on about $10 per day per person. America, while definitely worse for the bottom quarter of the population than ever before, is relatively far from this.
Cost of living is an important factor here. There are places where $10 would be closer to $50 in purchasing power, so while America does have relatively low poverty rate dollars per day numbers shouldn't be taken at face value.
Those teach how things are supposed to work, not what to do when things don't work as they should. I'm willing to wager no government willingly teaches people how to coerce it into working for them, but at least America definitely doesn't.
