Well, maybe context is important. I’m from Germany and pseudoscience is really common here. There is even some homeopathy that is paid by public insurance nowadays. And there are many esoteric and pseudoscientific movements that have a lot of financial power. That is, the biggest drug store chains in Germany are esoteric lead and there are kindergarden/schools as well as various companies that are anthroposophic. They also formed these huge protests against covid regulations and many people fell prey to the esoteric mindset at this time. So it is actually not that uncommon in Germany for people to truly believe in pseudoscience unfortunately…
ETA: does your username mean that you like to glorify something/someone? Or that you tend to be glorified?
Mm, I suppose I only have my experience to go off, it might be much worse as you say elsewhere.
Re: username, one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite games is called “Apotheosis” and it was my first time encountering that word. I riffed on it and settled on my username - so, I guess neither? Lol
