(1) Your target audience are atheists, so why would they even “evangelize” and (2) more than 90% of the people here aren’t religious. Also what does “weirdly” detached mean, and how is that different from being detached normally?

1) People who aren’t the target audience will still see the post and I’ve had people try to “convince” me to join their religion before 2) We don’t have stats on that but idk I’ve seen a lot of posts referencing church or god on here that get pretty decent likes, maybe it’s the same handful of ppl

Also “weirdly” cause I grew up religious so I know what they’re feeling and referencing in the posts, just know I can’t relate to it anymore cause I don’t think it’s real. Kinda like hearing someone gush about a childhood movie you don’t like anymore despite the nostalgia.

Okay now we’re getting somewhere. That makes perfect sense, actually. My family is Protestant, but I am now an Orthodox Catechumen…may still be ‘Christianity’ but still: I was raised believing in the rapture and seeing so many films and books on it, as well as teachings. So yeah I understand the nostalgia aspect somewhat.
