I think Icelanders have perfected the art of being total heathens and still getting all the perks of organised religion.
Example: we have a thing called Civil Confirmation so even if you don’t believe in god you can still have a party at 13 and get gifts and money from all your aunts and uncles.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt).
Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders /
envelopes.
