As a Christian who doesn’t follow much of the super religious “rules”, I think it’s kind of a red flag but sometimes it’s not. Red flag because my girlfriend’s ex-friend was super devout and put it all over her bio and was very ableist and homophobic. My friend, for example, is agnostic, so he’s not sure if spirituality exists. He has a friend who’s super devout and constantly talks about Christianity. She has a Discord server about Christianity and most of her friends are Christian who just talk about Jesus and God all the time. She puts the crosses and bible verses in her bio too. She’s very nice and tries to be accepting but seems kinda judgmental or like “Oh, your non-traditional ways are… nice I guess.”
She constantly asks my friend how his relationship with God is and if he reads the Bible and what his favorite verses are, even when he says he’s not super religious.
My mom as of recent has become super religious, and while she is pretty left-leaning, thinks the only way to believe is to be Christian and you HAVE to believe in Jesus or you’ll die instead of live forever in Heaven.
I love hearing people’s beliefs, so I personally don’t mind… but that’s also because I allow myself to question them which, in some cases, goes for long until they realize they’re saying a bunch of nothing and nonsense. Jesus was straight up hanging out with ex-hookers and kissing women in public when that was mega-taboo in society at the time, so if their devoutness just makes them more needlessly judgemental and overall cuntish, what/who exactly are you following? I’m telling you, in America/the West, religion is often at best empty, illiterate, narcissistic and performative, at worst just a way to condone immorality (from cheating, going to a confession and praying a Hail Mary and feeling good about yourself to Western imperialism, Crusades included)… The only thing God ever forbade was immorality.
