The pseudoscience of the divine whose aim is rendering people subservient to the fiction of god – M Onfray
Or as Thomas Paine put it
The study of theology as it stands in Christian churches is the study of nothing, founded on nothing, rests on no principles, proceeds by no authorities, has no data, can demonstrate nothing and admits of no conclusions.

This is true. Many people think their religious books are not folklore because they have been around for a long time

Mak, I simply had to share this and this seemed like a good place due to your reference to pseudoscience.
“Last month, Dr. Simone Gold stood before a crowd at a conservative church in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and delivered a talk riddled with misinformation. She told people to avoid vaccination against the coronavirus. As an alternative, she pushed drugs that have not been proven effective at treating COVID-19 — drugs that she also offered to prescribe to the audience in exchange for $90 telehealth appointments.”
It’s that last part that seemed to fit your topic.
Oh, and she added that It could take a week for them to get these “effective drugs” because she was so swamped!
