of course, i am a contrary sort of creature, so if somebody put me on a suitable stipend to back their god i'd probably appear to do so while subtly working against it. so a really clever rich ideologue would claim to be representing an egregore they actually wanted undermined

Damn, personally I'd rather operate on the assumption I have god-tier integrity because I know I'll never be important enough that someone's ever going to make me an offer that would make me question it.

Serious question: I take it the “good enough offer” must be something not yet (thoroughly) conceived. Could it possibly be a (not-yet-conceived) religion? Must it necessarily be a (perhaps quasi-) religion?
