Twitter ‘sought to censor Tucker Carlson after he published an op-ed stating Covid-19 jabs are dangerous for children’
“Carlson’s op-ed cited information that was, up until that point, publicly viewable on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) website. However, after Carlson’s op-ed was published, that information disappeared from the site.
“[Files] released Thursday also reveal that Twitter executives held internal debates over how best to censor the content in Carlson’s op-ed …”

David Beckham, as usual, promoting his own brand to make more money. He's no more religious than you or I, but if it makes him money by saying so, then he'll say so. He was promoting Qatar, just about as far from being Jewish as it's possible to be, to make money leading up to the 2022 World Cup.
>> He's no more religious than you or I
Personally, I’m not so sure. The possible link between ritualised religious activity, etc, and OCD is very interesting.
It seems most unlikely Beckham could have risen to become a world-class sportsman without being unusually *precise* and *exacting* in his practicing of ‘rituals’ and habits around (for example):
mealtimes, diet (what to eat, what not to eat) and use of supplements; exercise type, schedule and duration; sleep routines (at what time, how, and for how long); use of prescribed meditation and mental-focus techniques at prescribed times and according to specific steps; etc etc
Somebody so ritual- and habit- focused (and who attaches great importance to same) would certainly have ***the necessary mindset*** to incorporate into his daily and weekly routine certain ritualistic, repetitive, religious incantations and practices.
That’s not to say Beckham definitely does this, or indeed that he doesn’t do this. Only that (I believe) David Beckham has the temperament and personality for such.
Of course, whether repeatedly engaging in prescribed and scheduled incantations/prayers, other rituals, scrupulous observation of holidays, sending one’s children to certain schools and having them marry certain people, etc, is really enough to constitute ‘being religious’ is another matter.
Some would argue that such ‘trappings’ of religion can be just that — traps — if they seem to dominate over (or even replace) mindful and moral behaviour toward other individuals and all of humankind as the object.
If one orients oneself toward making money for its own sake, increasing one’s fame for its own sake, increasing one’s social status for its own sake, then arguably no amount of ‘religious’ rituals and practices are merit worthy. Indeed, to (mis)use religion in this way is arguably not to use religion at all, but to engage in a kind of ANTI religion and ANTI religiousness… that merely ‘passes as’ religion and religiousness in certain lights.
