One imagines that the lord of the cosmos and author of the human condition would understand saying some words for 100k. If anybody's dangling money for me to say "Fuck murrica, canadia is better!" you can just go ahead and write the check. Relieving some dunce of a hundred k isn't exactly a betrayal of any of my principles and it doesn't change the fact that murrica is the best or that canadia sucks.
Exactly this. If the superstitious really believed in any of their nonsense they'd be furiously rubbing every lamp they could find and carrying a board around to knock themselves unconscious every time they had the slightest hint of an untoward thought. Lest it imperil their immortal souls.
They aren't....because they don't. In reality, they "say the magic words" and "betray their principles" and then donate some portion of the proceeds to their superstition club to launder their consciences. American christians aren't exactly giving their shit away and flinging themselves headlong into a brotherly socialist utopia, for example.
