"Being raised like this creates a lot of fear of anything or anyone who is not like you," she told BuzzFeed."We are also encouraged not to seek out other opinions or worldviews because we can risk being brainwashed and becoming more 'like the world.' I see that now as a form of control and manipulation."with over 2 million views, she shared how Trump's presidency started unraveling her worldview, despite voting for him in 2016.
Rihanna added that, in her experience, many Evangelicals are in constant fear of being wrong and going to hell. She said,"It sounds silly to say out loud, but the use of 'hell' as a fear tactic has been used since I was born. So, it was really hard to come out of that and be afraid to question the prophets, question these people who were supposed to be my spiritual leaders because it felt scary.
"It's just funny because I continue to see it happening over and over again in the States, where Christianity is the largest religion. And no one is persecuted in the States for being a Christian."Rihanna admitted it took a dedicated effort to start unlearning unconscious racist belief systems and untangling herself from her former communities she no longer aligned with.
