Following is a psychoanalytical audit I recently performed on someone captured by a crypto cult. His Christianity cult also comes out strongly in his approach. His life is full of self induced suffering. Here is how I would suggest anyone captured by a Master demon like this, rescues themselves. In this specific case it looks at just one of the cults possessing him - crypto.

Simply: take the question you object to being asked the most. And analyse it from cradle to grave. Using logic, reason and the scientific method. Try to resist any cosy beliefs informing your thought else you will fail.
Tell me the conclusion. Write it down.
The big challenge is that you will only succeed if you are capable of suspending your beliefs for the duration. Otherwise you will just be looking at your beliefs and not the objected question in hand, unconscious of it happening. Your Master will be fighting hard to get you to continue believing him, keeping you under the anaesthetic.
If you can resist your Master and what you find using your science runs counter to your original objection, what will you do? Will you concede and move on with new knowledge. This noble choice will draw fierce anger from your Master. Or will you resist at the next level down? The latter is your Master, still successfully commanding you as his Slave.
Even Wright is a victim here, too weak to fight a master informing his thought. I audited him several years ago. All he knows are beliefs he got from reading 5 books a day, and believing what they said. None of what he knows is self induced knowledge. Wright is your archetypal slave. As are all his followers who were also chained up by the same Master.
The curious thing is that submitting to a Master is a free choice. You could easily have run to the free land. But no. You made the choice willingly to be a Slave. No chains have ever been necessary. The Masters promise is to give you Protection, in exchange for your serfdom. And as a Slave you see this as a fair exchange. Freedom you see as a more costly alternative. Sure, you bleat about your plight daily as if that convinces anyone who chose freedom.
This is a much bigger factor in Wrights losses and BSVs losses than is COPA. Much much bigger.
