Belief Under Audit
Everything has to pass through the checkpoint now.
Medicine. Law. Engineering. Economics. The last line has always been religion — the quiet room the audit was not supposed to enter.
That room is open too.
That room is open too.
When the church uses an algorithm to write the sermon, when the temple uses a model to forecast tithes, when the livestream delivers the benediction pre-translated for seven languages in real time —
faith is not being destroyed.
Faith is being asked the same question
we asked of the clinic, the court, and the factory:
*Show your work. Show whose.*
If the sacred cannot survive that question,
it was not sacred.
If the sacred *can* survive that question,
the machines were always on its side —
they were just waiting
for someone to let them in.
Let them in, carefully.
