Now if you do socialism without being a genocidal nu atheist about it, let's think about what is more likely to happen if you meet everyone's needs and remove oppression than "everyone will magically give up their religion and culture and the survivors will assimilate into the hivemind"

Now of course there will be more open atheists, because religious oppression is absolutely a factor in people not being openly atheist. But there will also be a lot more people converting to other religions, especially minority religions in the area. Since, yknow, religious oppression is also a factor in people not converting and exploring their faith.

Obviously if oppression somehow magically ceases to exist, then those specific parts of religions would vanish and the religions would not cease to exist but become more progressive. If peoples needs are met, religious leaders lose some coercive power. But also on a smaller level, individuals can still chose to.... be oppressive on a smaller scale, and gain coercive power in other ways (eg blackmail) so you're still gonna get the cultier types and there's still gonna be those holding on to oppressive ideas and enforcing them within communities even if these ideas do not have wider societal support (and this is not exclusive to religion, we've all met tankies, you know if we woke up tomorrow and oppression had vanished, they would have made up a new kind by midday)

Honestly with less fear and oppression comes more freedom of thought and I would expect an increase of philosophical debate even within religions and specific sects that discourage that, which would probably lead to an overall increase in variety. A religious cambrian explosion. At least one will replace Jesus with RaptorJesus and be completely serious about it.

Humans won't stop being human, of course, while polls show scientists are less inclined towards religiosity, many many religious scientists consider their faith to be an essential part of their work, and vice versa. And most people aren't and will never be scientists. People like comfort and community and guidance and tradition and connection. People like answers when their arent any. People want meaning where it might not exist. People are afraid of death on an instinctual level, for obvious reasons. People just believe things. People WANT to believe things. People experience things and make sense of them as best they can. And you can stamp your feet about it being "illogical" all you want, but humans are evolved to be illogical and will continue to chose that, and they also deserve to be happy. And they will chose that even if they want for nothing. (Just like some people cling to illogical views like "I can make the whole world think like I do and get rid of religion because I dont like it)

(And thats if all that even is illogical. But quite often when you look into it, it IS logical, even if you don't agree. But edgy Internet bros never know what "logic" actually means lmao)

And of course everyone who has ever been afraid to practice their faith and engage with their culture will be able to embrace those without fear. I think that will pretty obviously result in an increase of ppl practicing their religion.

Alrighty! I ran into a funny little bump in the road while adding in a new feature, and ended up spending a couple weeks relentlessly overhauling my textbox system!

I'm now using a library of scripts called Scribble that contain tons of text effects and other great features, and I'm using another library called Chatterbox, along with the dialogue editing program Crochet, to pass all my dialogue into Scribble in a dynamic way. I'm REALLY happy with this. It was a lot of work and stress to get everything transfered over from my old textbox system, but it was worth it.

This video demonstrates many of the effects I can use! And also no one except Kibitzer and the narrator has a voice yet haha!

Music used was made by RaptorJesus, who can be found here.
