I would be a lot of them are trolls exploiting the weak minded and gullible. The term "education" is tenuous. Anyone with a basic level of literacy is "educated". That doesn't stop them from believing in fairy tales and complete fabrications.

So I'm writing a very-post apocalyptic Space Opera story. Feudal Future. There's a Church. Galactic Christendom is a thing.

The Apocalypse was centuries ago, but it was one of those "Damn near wiped everything out" sorts, and the recovery's been uneven. There's been some interesting interpretations of pre-Apocalypse culture, which I prefer to use as little bonuses for the reader to enjoy.

e.g. "Saint Itano, Patron of Pilots and Gunners. Asked to protect ships from enemy ordinance, while blessing their own. Origin unclear, but has to do with late 20th Century Japan and how its military and popular culture intersected. Unknown why he's referred to in conjunction with circuses, as there seems to be no connection."

For any DCC fans out there, I should mention I just received a review-copy of a product called the Umerican Survival Guide, which is set up to run DCC as a weird-fantasy post-apocalyptic Earth game.

It's pretty freaking awesome. That is all.

In a nearby street full of functional boxy buildings, there's a restaurant with classical Greek-style architecture, columns and so forth. An archaeologist in the ruins might easily get the idea that it was a survival of ancient religion or culture rather than a tacky commercial building.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

That's funny, though I find it kind of dubious. More likely, they'd think that our civilization went through some kind of brief classical revival, and would make high-faluting theories about what kind of moral principles we renewed from the ancients.
