Thank god their not 😇

Interesting, may i ask whether you are USA based? USA is the only western country with significant Christian population that actively pursue their religion. But even there Christianity is in decline. The only growth markets seem to be latin america and african third world countries.

Some UK graph:



On-topic: i am recently interested in Unreal Engine 5 remakes of older games. But it is not open source and not entirely free either? How does Godot compare to UE5 for example?

while the main branch still requires scons, there is a fork that seems to be mostly 1:1 with the main branch that uses meson(it seems the person who is making the fork is trying to get it pulled in).

Pyston is fully compatible with SCons and can be used to speed it up noticeably on Linux and macOS.
