      got a bit more concerned about capitalism than religion.

      It’s totally fair not to follow this stuff and I mostly don’t either, but I do think it’s worth noting at least for the better ones that a lot of this is about Christianity (mostly evangelicalism in the case of the US) being used as a vector for imperialist projects, from missionary campaigns to Israel, so I don’t think a dichotomy can really be drawn between capitalism and religion.

        That’s where my understanding is now, from what I can remember most of the channels I used to watch back in the day didn’t really delve into those things which is why I don’t pursue that content anymore.
