Seems germane to this thread, because it's part of the whole antimask shtick but also because it seems likely it's at least in part a consequence of quarantine cabin fever:
How QAnon rode the pandemic to new heights — and fueled the viral anti-mask phenomenon
Users like Rein Lively who started off in wellness communities, religious groups and new-age groups on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the pandemic were then introduced to extremist groups like QAnon, aided by shared beliefs about energy, healing or God — and often by recommendation algorithms.
And while anti-mask sentiment has surfaced in a variety of ways for a number of reasons, viral videos of anti-mask confrontations have become causes for celebration in conspiracy circles, embraced as examples of people taking the fight against their shadowy enemy into the real world.
"The strongest bridge we found between QAnon and non-QAnon communities was spirituality and religion," McAweeney said. "This content isn't inherently problematic, but people are often most vulnerable when seeking spiritual information online and more susceptible to alternative and extreme views."
I kinda hate to say it (for fear that it will come across as negative judgement towards all religious folks, when that's not the case), but this is tracks with what I personally see.
