I do a lot of research, into history, but not as much as the bible for the last few years. Just a personal question, when was the last time you talked to God? Forget that you don't believe in God, but was there a time you did, and if so, when did you ask for help?
I was a Christian for my entire life until 3 months ago, so 30+ years of ironclad faith. Yes, I prayed. Yes, I asked God for help. Most recently was right after I realized I didn't believe anymore, I asked God to reveal himself if he was true so that I could believe in the truth.
If you've done a lot of research, you should see the correlation between theism and tyranny and human oppression. Are you going to tell me that you have not seen it?
