It seems to be a factor of things driving the non-religious to embrace the Covid cult
Sense of community: A big thing that drives people to religion is the community building, as we are social creatures. And with social media and technology giving us more online connections and less physical connections, the non-religious can find bonds through the Covid cult (What vaccine did you get? Did you hear about the current stats on Delta? etc.).
Sense of purpose: With Covid, people can now "do their part" in getting vaccinated, masked up, social distancing, and all these other retarded rituals to lower and restrict Covid (even though this does jack shit and definitely makes Covid and the effects associated with it even worse)
Us vs. Them: Basically the boogeyman to all the problems from lockdown/Covid can now be put onto the non-vaxxed (We can't fully open up because of these damn republican, right-wing anit-vaxxers! They are the root of all evil! etc.) People in power just love abusing that power (the religious right on videogames back in the day) and now the non-religious can do it to the anti-vaxxers and the religious.
And for people who are religious and why they don't fall for the Covid cult (as easily)
The banning of congregations: I'm pretty sure banning phyiscal religious congregations pissed off a lot of religious folks so they are more likely to see pass the bullshit.
Mark of the beast: This is specifically a Christian reason. If a Christian can't see the parallels between that section in the bible and the mRNA shots, then he/she is not a true Christian
Their "hell" would be total ostracization from the progressive social order for any reason. These people will champion masks on Monday and denounce them on Tuesday. The contradictions don't matter. All that matters is the safety and comfort of the tribe's consensus. And that consensus is handed down by the leftist elites who control media, academia, and big tech. They decide what the progressive mob believes, and the greatest fear for any member of that mob is to fall from member to target.
