"...as soon as its argument-from-authority and that authority is the church the brain shuts down."

I was raised a Southern Baptist, and that's how it was. I started really thinking about the Doctrine of Salvation and the Book of Job, and shit started colliding in my mind until that paradigm was shattered – and all for the best, of course.

I don't feel that I'm in-tune enough with what the younger generations are thinking, but I have seen a lot of personal stories on r/conspiracy about teenagers coming to terms with a lot of truth that I didn't even think about until I was 40. That's partly because the whole power structure got in our faces in a new way on 9/11/01, and there's been a cornucopia of new and creative global psy-ops and overt aggressions since. It's much more difficult to ignore than it was in the 80s and 90s.

Edit: That last statement is very American. Those in Central America, Eastern Europe and the Balkans, Middle/Far East, Africa and elsewhere were very aware and victims of the power structure in those decades
