Reply to Did Oliver Cromwell Ban Christmas? by Brattonismybae
I, an Irish American, consistently root against English soccer teams on the international stage bc of Cromwell.

Reply to comment by Astalon18 in TIL that in Chinese Folk Religion, a mortal human being could ascend into godhood not through the decisions of a clergy/church, but by the sheer number of people who believe that their extraordinary achievements led to apotheosis, which forced Confucian/Taoists clerics to canonize a person as a God. by Khysamgathys
Is the approval by a formal council or does a thought leader just refer to the deceased as divine and it becomes generally accepted?
