Depends what part of the country of they were in.

In the north east, there aren’t many mega churches, and the small old churches are often pretty empty or have closed. But down in the Bible Belt, Texas lower Midwest, it’s fucking different and very prominent and very culty.

On the coasts it looks more like granola churches for networking and much more humanist/unitarian. There are still Lutheran, Catholic and Baptist churches around, but not like the south.

Especially the financial incentives. Cheney was the former owner of one of the biggest contractors for the war, and they were all tied to the oil industry.

Anyone remember what the wars did to oil prices?
