I don't go to church but my faith in God and feeling of the Holy Spirit and belief in the scripture is rock solid. It's easy to confuse the two (church vs. faith) because I believe a lot of Christians are themselves confused. They just 'go to church' to be told what to do by someone rather than reading and pondering scripture. I am constantly astonished that any Christians took the vaccine. It's all there. Black and white what is happening. But their pastors and priests said 'take the vax' and away they went. (Incidentally...that bit is in the Bible too...their book they don't read). I liked your comment btw.
Exactly, when you have so many different sects within each religion, it only divides as opposed to unifying. Freedom should be about spirit and leave the rest out for now.
I don't think people have to 'unify.' We all just need to leave each other alone to run our own lives with minimal interference. If someone wants to believe, or do differently to me I don't mind. Just don't force me to.
Like it or not, Christianity is already set up to operate independently from the larger society...at least it was prior to being absorbed by the current state. As a result, if you want to participate in the Christian version you probably are going to need to be Christian. Or, go and set up another secular alternative.

We need to unify in terms of mass non-compliance.

Not into cults, but thanks
