Us vs. Them : The programming of religion, identity and fear

by Matthew Fraser

Us vs. Them
What if everything you believe was programmed into you?

This book is not here to comfort you.
It’s here to wake you up.

From ancient fears to modern identities, from religion to politics to personal belief — Us vs. Them reveals how deeply tribal programming runs our world. It’s the hidden force behind our divisions, our certainties, and even our sense of self.

But what if you could step outside it?

With piercing clarity and poetic precision, this book tears down the myths we mistake for truth — and gently

What if you’ve never had an original thought?
What if “God” was never who you were told?
What if freedom begins… the moment you stop being right?

This isn’t about being saved.
It’s about choosing to become awake.

No tribe. No flag. No chosen people.
Just you — and the truth you’re finally ready to see.
