    They aren’t actually, they just see it as part of the conservative virtue grind. The only genz people I know who go to church openly admit they don’t really believe it, but that it’s some kind of protest against “decline of the community” or whatever. These people are so lost, they’re holding up religion as counterculture.

    It makes sense and it’s probably healthier (though not in every case) than getting sucked in by manosphere exploitation.

    Religion may increasingly function as a source of belonging, meaning and community, particularly for young men. In a world characterised by economic insecurity, social isolation and uncertainty about traditional masculine roles, religion can offer purpose, structure and a sense of place.
