Are the devoutly religious more inclined to be critical of conspiracy due to their ability to have faith in that which they have little more evidence of than heresay and state/corporate sponsored images, videos and testimonials?

Leaving the less devoutly religious to think critically and to scrutinize heresay, question motives and distrust the narrative?

I think sometimes this plays out the other way as well, they uncritically accept a conspiracy theory

I find the christians loooove conspiracy theories involving satan, 666 sightings, gematria, and other religious flavored conspiracies

The Q-tards seem to swing religious as well

Faith is not blind. It is the ability to believe supernatural truth. But most of the time you can because of the evidence of what you can see.

The deepest conspiracy is that the bible is true and the devil tries to make us think it isn't. It explains the occult, the grooming, the evil nature of the banking system, where the new world order is going, what interdimensional beings are, why the illuminati is opposed to to Christianity but is accepting of any other religion, why famous or rich people push neo-paganism and perform blood sacrifices, things llike international organizations like Lucifer's Trust.

Are you sure central bank digital ids requirring everyone on earth to get an identity stamp is not written about in the Book of Revelation?

Faith is blind by definition, it's the willingness to believe without evidence. It verges on delusion when then claiming random existence of things is evidence of the supernatural. All evil acts are committed by people. Everything else is just shitty coincidence.

Who’s definition? I believe what the Bible says because I believe in the devil. I believe in the devil because of all the circumstantial evidence that leaders serve him. It my faith in the Bible blind?

Yea,. and it verges on delusion. All evil acts are committed by people who have free will.

That’s right, the devil just guides them, but they are the ones who continue to take his counsel.

This is the personification of conscience, no different than personification of Jupiter and Mars as gods, it doesn't make it real. By claiming to be led by the devil absolves the culprit of responsibility, typical of all Abrahamic religions, no different than absolving Muslims of murder to go to paradise.

The devoutly religious believe God to be on their side, which enables them to step over the cognitive dissonance that comes when one discovers these things. How the hell can a normie integrate truth into their experience? Many can't, so they just deny the reality of conspiracies.

actually the religious are more likely to believe conspiracy theories because they're retarded and have persecution complexes.

My devoutly religious SIL turned her kid lefty by by trying to force her to be "christian" by going to church school.
