I think a lot of people were tempted to atheism in their youth because it was the edgy cool thing to do. I can remember back in the early days of 4 Chan that was actually the OG definition of “alt-right.” It was atheist right wing people who didn’t want to be associated with the “cringe” evangelical right. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are turning back to religion (Christianity) because they think it’s the new cool edgy thing to do. “Nah bro fuck those leftist atheists with their science, we’re gonna be white Christian nationalists because that’s the cool new edgy thing to b. Have you heard of this guy Nick Fuentes?!?” I’ll stick to my atheism.
Part of coming back to Christianity for me was realizing that I had been living as a Christian more or less the whole time I was allegedly an agnostic.
Then seeing how those morals/principles had shaped my life for the better and seeing friends without them struggling.
