"higher power" generally refers to some nefarious, undefined bit of fluff. It's woo.
Believing in community or science isn't believing in a "higher power".
Higher powers are almost never thought of as nefarious. Did you mean ‘nebulous’?

Heavily Armed Militia Group Shut Down Massachusetts Highway in Bizarre Standoff
According to Massachusetts State Police, a trooper saw two cars on the side of the I-95 at about 1:30 a.m. with hazard lights on, attempting to add gas to their tanks.
When the officer stopped to assist, they noticed the men were wearing military gear and had a lot of guns. The trooper asked for driver’s licenses and gun licenses but the men allegedly refused to provide any, and refused to put down their weapons. The trooper called for backup but some of the men fled, police said.

These idiots do not know what a "militia is" otherwise they would hate Washington who threatened Whiskey makers for not paying taxes.
And I really don't care what one's political bent is. I have seen the "anarchy" bent from both parties over my lifetime. The idiots that stupidly think that one can simply let society live by it's own devices with no government. I have seen that from economic right, and economic left.
If one has studied enough human history worldwide, one can see the same pattern evolve in times of social unrest. The aggrieved minority factions initially pull together to topple the government, but after they do, they infight for control. And that works for both directions, from open to closed societies or closed to open societies.
I have seen many proclaimed "liberals" sport the famous photo of Che, in their avatars, the guy who lead to Castro's Cuba. But I also hate the idiots who think Ayn Rand who wrote "Atlas Shrugged" was a hero.
These were simply more fucking nuts, who think government is always bad. It isn't that government is bad. It certainly can be. But it is more along the lines of how many in society want to improve vs divide.

If you don’t mind paying more, I’d suggest building most of your shop jigs out of plywood, as opposed to MDF or OSB. Just make sure everything is square to everything else, and that shouldn’t happen again. Good luck.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I wonder if they’ll find Johnny Cash in it (the Gulf Fire, I mean, not your bum).
