A government which gives the illusion of free will and choice, nudging people towards what the government want and making people believe they have made a choice by themselves, is more tyrannical than a government which is openly and clearly telling it's people what to do.
I find dictatorships more trustworthy, if I were to live under one.

A non-diciplined population with individualism as its basis with a small government, and the belief that the population knows what's best for itself, quickly breeds pride and arrogance as well as a general decadence of sociality. Secularization grows and the only thing defending your existence is a piece of legal document, while one can only hope it's defended and upholded.
Perhaps they even come to idolize this legal document, for it's the only thing justifying their existence, while in the meantime parts of it are slowly plucked away.
Legal document zealotry.

I find it noteworthy that, in the current world situation, the masses in more centralized governments put the responsibility on the state rather than on themselves as individuals, while protecting yourself, or at least improving your situation, is easy. They lack creativity and motivation.
People grow old and miserable health wise and then point their fingers at the state.
"Look what you did, State. I'm miserable, and I rely on you to make me feel better."

My experience with godless individuals have been less than optimal, which is to be expected. Most particularly those actively against God. Arrogance and pride is a factor, and is more prevalent among certain groups. We can see how miserable these people are even though they say they are fine, arguing and telling people how stupid religion is.
I, myself, have been in that atheist phase which became a thing many years ago on YouTube, but now I'm here.
I'm not bothered by people who lie to me saying that they are doing fine without God, because lying to oneself in these matters is more damaging.

Self defence. A relative and subjective thing among the more centralized governments of, for example, Great Britain and Sweden.
Essentially the state tells you you're not allowed to defend yourself, with some exceptions, and it's the job of the Police to keep you safe while at the same time the government puts its own citizens in danger by letting in dangerous people within its borders, as well as being much too mild in punishing people.
If you're caught using self defence you will play the lottery, and the chances of you winning, or losing, is entirely dependent on the judge. Of course, your lawyer helps, but ultimately it is the judges decision.

It's easy to think oneself being unworthy, but remember this:
"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."
Matthew 18:21 - 22 KJV

As we grow up in an urban environment, relying on the automation for our daily life, a scissor cutting a piece of the thread holding it together may cause a partial or total collapse of it.
It is foolish to rely on the automation when a catastrophy does occur, for it is you who are responsible for your own survival. Self determination is key, instinct, self preservation, not bowing to the state for philantropic pretexts.
Our daily lives rely so heavily on the automation that you as a lone individual need to do so very little to improve your chances when things does get bad. People simply lack self determination, creativity and self preservation. They rely too much on others to the point they become inept, inactive, incapable of self determination, reflection and creativity.
I should be in everyones head, how they can improve their chances once things get bad, independently, before the event, to lessen the blow.

Self-preservation is not about putting it in someone elses hand, like the state in how they push a vaccine. This is the complete opposite of self-preservation because you submit your health to someone or something else.
