Using government numbers to disprove that this is a government religion shows that you missed the entire point.

There has to be some basis or anchor point. And we have lists of dead, and not a lot of examples of people that don’t exist being recorded as dying or the living reported dead, so the total numbers are essentially correct.

If not, your argument reduces to there being no point in having a discussion since everyone is free to make up their own numbers with no possibility of dispute, as there is no basis for any numbers.

But your argument reduces to the claim that an erroneous number is better than no number.
