You can't expect decency from trash. Trash like this will always ignore how trashy they are. If there were a way to compel them to tell the truth I bet there isn't a single real maga in the country who really believes in their god.
I'm not sure about that. In my experience, it's how they justify everything. The ones I've known personally seem to genuinely believe their god wants them to inflict pain on others as part of some sort of divine warfare. They also tend to prefer the old testament, unsurprisingly
