Americans want you to be religious. (Woman: Which monotheistic belief system are you affiliated with?) But not too religious. (Man 1: I believe the bible. Earth is 6,000 years old.) (Woman: What are you, stupid?) If you follow your religion 100% you're an "extremist" (Woman: Are you wearing a suicide belt?!) If you're 0% you're a weird, marginalized atheist. (Police Officer: Swear on this meaningless text.) Best to be "moderate." so follow maybe 30% of your religion's edicts. (Woman: I eat meat on Fridays. I don't tithe. But I do attend church on important holidays.) (Man: I don't tithe either. I go to church on major holidays too. But eating meat on Fridays is sacrilege!) Because extremists are crazy.
Its not the job of any institution secular or religious to save stupid people from themselves. She should have learned to save better. Because I am sure if she was an atheist she would still be dead broke.
