They don’t actually believe anything it’s all ironic and clout motive based

Probably but I think it's just the promise of free wives that they can use and abuse is what appeals to them

WHO GIVES A SHIT AMERIKKKANS BE THEY THE MOST MILITANT ATHIESTS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN OR TRAD ORTHODOX ARE FUCKING SCUM WHO WILL NEVER BRING ABOUT REVOLUTON

>young men young men young men

FUCK YOU AMERIKKKAN SCUM

AND FUCK YOUR SO CALLED 250 YEARS OLD DEMOCRACY I HOPE TRUMP STEALS MIDTERMS AND MILLIONS MORE OF AMERICANS COME HOME IN BODYBAGS

Pretty sure there’s been others pointing to this being more a plateau than a genuine revival, but if I had to say what could be helping drive it: there’s a huge epidemic of loneliness and purposelessness among young men especially. Religion is kind of a balm that helps with that, because it’s one of the few aspects of life in the western world that doesn’t seem so atomized.

Personally while I’m a Catholic I’d really hope we’d get some kind of secular alternative so everyone has a chance of being a part of some community. I’ve said it before but I think Socialists could benefit from, for example, sports clubs and the like.

Islam is growing rapidly in American prisons. I welcome our Muslim brothers and sisters.

Bunch of weaklings. Solutions:

>1. Start a new wave of anti religious content.

>2. Attack their masculinity [Kind of toxic route though].

>3. Create propaganda that makes communism look very cool [which in fact is], compared to right wing slop.

Since it's "you convert or get abused until you're out", it's not surprising

>1. Start a new wave of anti religious content
That has been pretty much the 2000s and 2010s and much of the 2020s. The President himself is a non-religious man and anti-religious content nowadays is quite nihilistic
>2. Attack their masculinity [Kind of toxic route though].
The type to be going religious is not going to be Darwinist Red-Pill rules of nature dudes like Andrew Tate. They are the type that got there because the likes of Andrew Tate shit on their masculinity and made them compensate in ridiculous ways. All secular
>3. Create propaganda that makes communism look very cool [which in fact is], compared to right wing slop.
Already happening because the current propaganda is that Jesus was a socialist, and it is in fact a better tool to fight against the likes of billionaires like Epstein, who are horrid capitalists.

what percentage of US "young men" are beaners?

I wouldn't trust this data. There was a recent scandal in the UK where YouGov found a similar result, only to retract it when it turned out Christians were spamming online surveys to manipulate the results.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/yougov-withdraws-survey-church-attendance-christianity-young-people-england-wales

Even if it's not outright fraud like the YouGov case, there's reason to be skeptical it represents anything more than a politicized answer. (e.g. young men are no more religious than before, "cultural christians" who'd rather xbox gamepass to eternal salvation through christ, "Homer the Heretic" every sunday, but who know that as Republicans they're supposed to be bible bashers, that bible-bashing is the entry fee for woman/black hating.) Fundamentally, religiosity as an idea - like politics as an idea - is nonsense. It's praxis or nothing. (Judaism got this right. "Through faith alone" - ha! what were protestants smoking?)

This isn't a bad idea r.e. what the left should do, but I think you've got a misread on what pulls people towards religion. Most LARPing trad types online still don't go to church because that's effort and their revealed preference is for an atomized life. One of the things that killed church attendance the first time was that it stopped being considered an obligation of being an upstanding member of the community - once your boss didn't care that you showed up at church, why should you? I mean damn, they're re-running the game. That's more fun than being told you're going to hell if you don't vote for Reagan.

The draw of religion is in some sense the draw of the fountain of meme ideologies from Kaiserreich or TNO, it's a personal branding/identity creation exercise using ideas picked up from the dustbin of history. In the same way there are some very committed old-style Keynesians out there (who do everything except influence real economic policy), there are some very committed christians out there (who do everything except go to church, take part in an offline religious community, regard prayer as a serious solution to their problems*, etc.)

*a side-note here: when religion is a genuine part of one's life, you often find prayer used in trivial ways. you may pray, for example, that your car will start after it fails twice. it's not theatrical - you actually think this shit works, of course you'll try to use it to fix a problem! but look at the status of prayer now: it's 99% publicly performative and 1% ritual for big occasions. (e.g. maybe on the night of your wedding you'll give it a shot) little things like this mark the decline of faith not just amongst society at large, but amongst ostensibly faithful people.

I suspect it’s less direct than that. It’s simply reaction, they’re miserable for various reasons (some of them justified even) in the current zeitgeist and the reaction is to romanticise a time that their elders describe as happier, safer and less worrisome (I.e their childhood).

I grew up catholic, went to sunday school, did my communion. Church is the most boring shit on the planet. i imagine its what others in this thread have already said, its larping for vibes

its just another identity label for them, its like how leftist women want to collect identities like being queer or handicapped

do you really think nick fuentes is going to church and has read the bible? its all an act.

anyways, these right wing guys completely ignore the church is post vatican 2, or when pope francis was alive he was half a leftoid
