Yeah, but we are ALL 'brainwashed' into some particular rationale. Throughout human history a creation myth and belief in a deity was nearly universal.
When I was an Irritable Atheist I realized that it was just another type of 'faith' because I was supposed to 'believe' in the Big Bang and WTF did I 'know' about the Big Bang?
And now the BB is losing favor with some astrophysicists, what am I supposed to 'believe' now?
you've been brainwashed into

Trust the science!
The scientists are never wrong, until it is discovered they were never really scientific at all.

Actually the Romans killed Jesus. But the Jews cheered for His execution. And ultimately He was killed as a sacrifice for our sins. So we are all complicit in His death. The thing is He is not a religious leader. He is God. A religious leader seeks to show people the way of salvation, but Jesus Christ is the way of salvation. I’m convinced that God hates religion, it always gets in the way of truly doing Gods will. Saul who became Paul is the prime example. Paul realized his true calling when he gave up his religion.
What about religious leaders who have been murdered by their countrymen? I think Jesus may be the only one.
