The former Soviet Union would have had a field day with this! It seems there might be a downside for the folks trying to "de-program" the faithful. The part of the brain they are messing with deals with all systems of social order, not just faith. They may end up with a whole bunch of people who don't accept the premise that they must suffer "for the common good" as socialism dictates. In fact, the more the little guy suffers, the more jollies the folks at the top get. What if the result of this was to end up with a population that rejected authority altogether and instead served their self interests. Sounds a bit like capitalism with enlightened self interest thrown in. I really doubt that is anywhere near the goal these "scientists" were shooting for. Unintended consequences...
I was about to post something similar. Anyone of us can see that a lot of the beliefs surrounding Covid very much appear to be a cult, or a religion. The whole idea of the "Capitol as a Cathedral" for instance is an example of this. This may end up very badly in the unintended consequences department.
