When a person is abused by someone in a position of trust, it is not only that they have been abused; they have also been betrayed. Trust, once a bridge of connection, becomes a wall of captivity when a survivor is surrounded by those who still regard the abuser as trustworthy.

“When culture is degraded and vulgarity enthroned, when the social system does not build security but induces peril, inexorably the individual is impelled to pull away from a soulless society. This process produces alienation…a form of living death…the acid of despair that dissolves society.” -MLK

The Gaslight Religion uses the language, ritual, and authority of faith not to liberate, but to control. It may not have a formal name or structure. Often, it’s a set of unspoken rules and reactions—a climate of confusion cloaked in sanctity. open.substack.com/pub/wademull...
