Religion has done something very clever, too. Christianity in particular has, through some means, found a way to divorce actions from character, as opposed to viewing one's actions as a reflection of their character. They see good and evil as things that someone is instead of what someone does.
You ever notice how suburban white Karens clutch their pearls when called racist? Well, consider what I just said about their view of evil. Now, make "racism" == "evil". By calling one racist, you have effectively called them evil, and they most certainly do not view themselves as having an evil character.
Or how, when doing evil deeds, they don't see themselves as being evil despite their actions? Or when someone does a good deed, they accuse that person of being evil?
It's just intriguing how they've pulled off this alchemy.
You confused me a little with that text 😅
