I will say what being born and raised in Rome taught me: all religious people are dangerous and all priests, for which I have a very wide definition that includes namaste-firing yoga teachers and Elon Musk, are the worst individuals humanity could produce.
Religious people, including the ones that call themselves “atheists but spiritual”, may not be dangerous to you now, but they are then to be regarded as sleeping terrorist cells.
Very good media works depicting the concept are the movie The Mist and the series Midnight Mass.
Priests, in my personal definition, is any person appealing to irrational concepts to predate on people’s ignorance.
And the Russian economy at this point.
