Forging your own spiritual philosophy is hard; and sadly, people tend to gravitate towards what's easiest. In a different time, the average regressive leftist would have claimed a belief in Christianity; without actually knowing, let alone understanding, anything about it.
Conformists and Counterfeit-Individualists are two sides of the same coin
Actual individuals don’t simply conform or anti-conform because the majority do or don’t, they actually have their own preferences and beliefs and even actually think it through as to why cutting your own balls off just because its become trendy’s a bad idea
I swear, these guys probably dislike christianity or catholicism deep down because they feel its NOT fanatical and douchey enough, the kind of horrible religion they could more easily use to beat down on other people whilst pretending to be virtuous
The majority of these guys would have joined the KKK a century back, if only because it would help sate their egos and because they likely wouldn’t face much opposition either
