Religion is banned. Can you believe it? Probably not. But then again, neither could all those folks in China or Russia way back when. And now here we are—welcome to the club. Turns out, if history has a sense of humor, it’s definitely dark. Oh, but don’t look so surprised. The Bible said this was coming. Actually, God gave a heads-up ages ago, and if there’s one thing we know, it’s that when God says something’s going to happen, well, it’s pretty much set in stone.

So here we are. The end—or the beginning of it, anyway. Who knew the apocalypse would start not with fire or brimstone, but with a government memo? And now we’re about to see who the true believers are: those who are discreet or don’t mind risking a little prison time.

Grab your popcorn; the ending is about to begin.
