I'm just glad that millennials and Gen Z are educated enough to be killing off organized religion.

A big component of earlier generations accepting how bad things are is expecting them to get better in the afterlife.

"It will be fine as long as I'm forgiven of my sins and go to Heaven! Why would I worry about Earth?"

Thank fucking goodness there's enough education for people to see through that absolute horseshit, a lie fed to the working populace to keep them compliant until the day they die.

(To be clear, nothing against general spirituality. Mostly issues with organized religion and promising eternal life after death, which not all of them do.)
