Just throwing it out there that I actually liked the ending for the most part. You might too! It’s possible that the legend of its terrible ending is exaggerated. It’s also possible that the show holds up better when you’re binging it (because that’s also how I watched it). Or you might still hate it, who knows.

I watched it for the first time 2 years ago, knowing that the ending was super controversial and preparing for the inevitable downward spiral.

What I actually got was, like…a slight decrease in quality for the last couple seasons? But overall it was still quite compelling, it DID explain almost all of its mysteries despite what people say, and I liked the ending. Go figure. Maybe let OP experience it for themself.

Does talking about a television show not meet your standards of what belongs on r/television?

It means someone reported that it happened.

The founding fathers explicitly did NOT want the USA to be a Christian nation. Not saying there weren’t extremist Christians living here, of course, but I don’t really know what you’re on about.
