>Do you remember when theater appeared in ancient Greece and entities enjoyed it so much sometimes they partook in the play and no one noticed it?
It was "worse" than that. Back in Roman Empire days I had flying ability in plain daylight, I learned it by jumping off a bridge, because "logic" can get really fuzzy when you have no strict doctrine taught to you. People saw it but no one cared, because in common lore there are flying demons and all sorts. I'd be out in the street and then fly home at night and land on the roof, then walk down to the apartment and should someone see it, it was "just a demon" and it didn't matter.
And everyone knew the Sun is a deity and same for other stuff, but it doesn't matter because humans are humans and what are you going to do about it? That's the real state of having no atheism.

There is this idea that "disclosure" will lead to a religious awakening of some kind and "all things will be exposed and people will awaken and the world will change", causing society to be "rainbows and unicorns." But in reality we've already seen that this doesn't happen, things have been said and done already that in people's minds, had someone said "this will happen" they would have believed surely that will make them wake up.

Imagine someone saying in the 90s "there will be an obviously staged terrorist attack against the WTC, blamed on muslims and used to impose draconian laws and to start wars that will destroy entire countries, but no one will stop it".
Or the now classic "there will be a fake pandemic and the whole world will be in lock-down (except North Korea and Iran, so on New Years Eve 2021 the only fireworks shown on tv will be from Pyongyang and Teheran who don't believe in locking people up) and private businesses will be bankrupted and everyone will be forced to take an untested vaccine and there will be roadblocks where you need an ID on your phone to pass it."
"And almost no one will object, instead they will attack anyone not complying."
