It is insincere because you didn't find that God through your soul. It could have been any other God as long as it fits your political orientation. Thus, you have no real, intrinsic loyalty to It other than to serve your political aspirations.

That's not necessarily true either. Isn't religion just supposed to be the structured pathway towards god? Do you not believe in divine intervention or fate?

I'm not sure what, "divine intervention [and] fate" have to do with this. Whether or not I believe in that, or if it's true or not, is irrelevant.

If any religion is a pathway to God, does it matter what faith you choose? If they all led to the same outcome, the religious entity, whether it be; Apollo, the Church, etc, is inherently political in nature. How could you sincerely believe in the doctrine of that God, if you are loyal to it merely because you agree with it politically? It's akin to shopping for a God.

I don't know how many people are truly religious as opposed to people that follow religious standards because some of them align with other aspects that they respect or have been socially pushed to accept, or even use religion because of networking. Choosing a god and religion is not too different from a choose your own adventure novel. If someone is truly drawn towards a deity that they found through political means and they're serious about it, you could consider that fate of a sort if you squint really hard
