I think you can say the same with most non mainstream religeons that are around today, and aithesim
Or for most fads/ trends in general.
My mum's freind claims she is a pagan, but when I question her on it, she reveals that she knows nothing about it, and is only trying to be different, and attends moon circles because she has nothing better to do.
But this is disgusting, to think that people change their own beliefs, and others purley for the sake of attention, popularity, being different, etc.
Yes I'm aware that there are athiests that are athiests bnecause that's what they realy believe in, for example, but there's alot who are purley so for being different and giving an up yours to the God they used to believe in because of how they think their life sucks. It's not about people pondering their world and giving a rational decision on what they believe in anymore, it's about doing what everyone else does, or doesn't do.
And you can say the same for most of the other religeons that aren't mainstream.
Then again, there are people of mainstream religeons (e.g. christianity) purley because they were told to believe it, and that brings up the questions, do they rationally think abotu their beliefs either, or do they believe what they're told? Are they just as bad, but just don't appear so because they're mainstream?
Well, aslong as these religeons don't harm or harrass others, then we shouldn't have to worry.
