That’s a pretty good analysis. But it’s missing a huge component. It’s missing The Jesus.
Some magical authority that can never be questioned without consequence and can be interpreted in any way authority sees fit. It’s chaotic evil in the guise of a sweet fairy tale where we all get presents and go to heaven (except some of us but don’t think about it).
Never trust a Christian
Absolutely 100%. Being raised to be credulous enough to believe in literal Harry Potter levels of magical thinking without the slightest hint of self-reflection is another huge contributing factor to them being so manipulable.
When you already unironically believe in magic, it's easy to believe in and act on things that the rest of us can only drop our jaws and stare at in disbelief.
