    This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they’d lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn’t want to risk.

      Oh kind of like Catholicism was/is? Or Wahhabism? Or pretty much any religious movement that dabbles in politics.

        This is exactly how it is in Dubai. All the sheiks in Saudi Arabia live pious lives in their own country and then escape to Dubai to drink alcohol with their girlfriends.
