Not in Texas but Oklahoma, and I grew up "Christian" and there was definitely one asshole in high school that just wanted to be that atheist asshole. Like obnoxiously mocking. anyone that mentioned anything about religion.
I'm pretty non religious now and heard that he has since 'found religion' but also believed the COVID vaccine was a government conspiracy. So tables have turned a bit there, or maybe he's just dumb.
Edgelords gonna edge.
I knew those people too. It’s funny because I was the Christian they mocked at the time, but I’ve grown and went through time as an atheist, and am now pagan. For some people I think religious identity is primarily a tool to ensure they feel superior or enlightened, whereas for others it’s a search for an inner or outer truth or something else deep and private, and for others still it’s cultural or just “I don’t buy it”.
It’s easy for all of us to misunderstand each other when often our why is more significant than the conclusion we reach (per my observations). The people who want to feel superior are going to find people they agree with and gloat. The seekers are going to pursue understanding and self mastery. And the others are not going to understand why all of us care so much outside of transitional periods of belief.
