It’s an interesting process. I knew two people in real life, they weren’t atheists from the start but I’d say they were kind of liberal Christians/capable of some Christian-like belief but maybe not caring much about religion and most people’s attitudes to it. They became atheists (although one said as well she had some sort of “her own religion”, never elaborating on it) but the more atheist these two became, the more zealous they were about queer stuff. Not a surprise since one (with “her own religion”) was trans FTM and the other, also female, became NB later. While the NB one was much more aggressive in a way of being anti-Christian, I wondered why they’re capable of supporting so much irrational things as the trans stuff, if they’re against religion (or at least, the mainstream representation of that). The orientation & gender stuff is their new religion, I guess, so they have to defend it...
