IF you deconverted in midlife, can you help?

[Angrboda]

Just a minor point, but if I were commanded to do something in the name of the acting attorney general, I would be safe in either doing so with reference to either "Matthew Whitaker" or "The Acting Attorney General". "In the name of" is an idiomatic phrase meaning to invoke the authority of the person or office, so invoking either is the same thing. It doesn't literally mean to say the name of the person. It's figurative. So this argument that the father, son, and the holy ghost are titles and not names simply doesn't wash. Saying the name of Jesus alone doesn't do anything.
