    They don’t contradict. There’s a subtle difference, which is whether it’s conscious.

    Take Donald Trump worshippers, for example. They think he’s a god, but they won’t admit it, even to themselves.

      Sorry, I edited in the stuff about deists and pantheons as you were responding. What’s your opinion on that?
